Why did I lose my textbox reference?

[jm]

I have datagrid. Inside the template columms there is a textbox. It
has an id. When the textbox wasn't inside the datagrid tags, I could
reference with order_id.text = "some text" but all of a sudden, once
inside the datagrid tags, I can't use the same statement

Any ideas on what is going on here? Thanks.

Use the FindControl() Method of the DataGrid. The FindControl() Method of a
Control looks for the Control with the ID property you specify in the string
you pass to it, and returns a reference to that Control.

Thanks. Curious. Do you use two panels on a form when creating rows
and then reviewing them? Just wondered if you use one of the forms
for entering data, etc. and then when viewing, a separate datalist or
datagrid populated (then edit, update, delete buttons), or do you have
the creation form doubling as the viewing form instead of two separate
panels within the form?
