Get Value of HTML Input box in asp.net

I have a HTML text box (NOT a TextBox server control) in a .aspx page. Is it possible= Yes, possible. Nothing different from classical asp in this case. If you don't have runat="server" then you can access it through the old school way.

say you have this <input type="text" id="text1" name="text1" /> then from server side use Request["text1"].



Good luck

First get the value of the text in javascript
Then send it as a parameter to the serverside method
whatever operations you want, you can do their
It will work well.

To get the values on server side code of HTML control, we need to follow below points:

- The tag should have an attribute called NAME. Because it is used as key in form[].
- The form method should be of type POST.

Here is the simple example: http://www.etechpulse.com/2013/02/get-html-input-controls-value-server.html[^]

<pre><input name="txtemail" id="txtemail" runat="server" type="text" class="csscla"form="form"/>

in C#
string email = txtemail.Value.ToString();

now u can get data from input textbox

it is not working within

I have the following code:

<asp:content runat="server" id="BodyContent" contentplaceholderid="MainContent" xmlns:asp="#unknown">




<asp:button id="Button1" runat="server" onclick="Button1_Click" text="Save" width="80px">




from code behing, I have the following:

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

string strValue = Page.Request.Form["datepicker"];

Response.Write(strValue);
}


this is retruning null value:
Page.Request.Form["datepicker"];



if I do the same from another page that does not have
<asp:content runat="server" id="BodyContent" contentplaceholderid="MainContent" xmlns:asp="#unknown">

I can get the value of the input control OK


any help on this?

You cannot get the value of the input text directly since its inside a masterpage and contentplaceholder.

You need to get the Object from the contentplaceholder in Masterpage and then get the value from the object as below.

ContentPlaceHolder test = (ContentPlaceHolder)Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1");
var value= ((HtmlInputText)test.FindControl("txtEmail")).Value.ToString()

var value= ((HtmlInputText)test.FindControl("txtEmail")).Value.ToString()..

in my case

var value= ((HtmlInputText)test.FindControl("txtEmail")).Value.ToString()..
this line shows error of conversion

I changed the HtmlInputText to HtmlInputControl .

//source

<ItemTemplate>
      <tr>
      <td class="text-center"><asp:CheckBox ID="chkadon" runat="server" /></td>
      <td class="w-50"><asp:Label ID="lbadonname" runat="server" Text= '<%#Eval("addonName") %>'>
        </asp:Label>   </td>
       <td><input runat="server" id="advalue" type="number" min="1" max="10" value="1"> </td>
      </tr>
     </ItemTemplate>

//code behind

string ss;
          string advalue;
foreach(RepeaterItem rpt in rptaddon.Items)
        {
            CheckBox chkap= (CheckBox)rpt.FindControl("chkadon");
            Label lbadonname = (Label)rpt.FindControl("lbadonname");
            HtmlInputControl adqty = (HtmlInputControl)rpt.FindControl("advalue");

            if (chkap.Checked)
            {
                ss=lbadonname.Text;
                advalue= adqty.Value;

            }
        }
