Rfer to HTML form elements

[Samuel Shulman]

I would like to refer to HTML elements from my ASP.NET code do they have to
be server side

If yes then I can I set their html name for the POST method

Thank you,
Samuel

If you're posting to an ASP.Net page, you can access any form variable
passed to it using the Request.Form["fieldname"] collection (where fieldname
is the name of the html form fields name).

I want to fill the initial values of the fields before the server sends the
page to the user (in the load event of the form)

Thanks

Then you would need to make references to them in the code-behind and set
their value attributes. All ASP.Net webform elements should have a
complementary HTMLForm elements. For example, an ASP.Net textbox equivalent
in HTML form is a System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText.

To access it in codebehind you would assign it as a variable as so.
protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText myfile = new
HtmlInputText;

You'll need to assign the runat="server" attribute for the Html form element
in order for it to work properly.
