how to use old INPUT tags

[Brad Williams]

I want to see posted values from old-school INPUT tags, but when I do this:

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<input type=text id="test1" value="hello" >
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" Text="Submit" Runat="server"></asp:Button>
</form>

in the btnSubmit_Clicked callback I do not see a key for "test1" in the
Request.Forms collection as I would expect. How/where can I see such
submitted values? I do not want to use runat=server.

I figured it out. If you don't use runat="server", then you gotta specify a
name attribute in the INPUT tag. Duh.

Have you tried looking in Request.Form("test1"), rather than
Request.Forms("test1")?

There is no reason why this wouldn't work as usual.

Hey Brad,

Try giving the control the Name attribute rather than just the ID:

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<input type=text id="test1" name="test1" value="hello" >
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" Text="Submit" Runat="server"></asp:Button>
</form>

Private Sub Page_Load _
(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
If IsPostBack Then
Response.Write _
(Request.Form.Item("test1").ToString)
End If
End Sub
