[resolved]document.Form

I need to get the value of a form element by using

document.Form1.txtName.value

I get an error when I use this on a web user control...

So I tried putting form tag in the html code still, it doesn't work dunno why, maybe its because I didn't put runat="server" but if I put this the page will return an error saying that it cannot allow two runat="server"

anyone?

Please help...

Take a look at txtName's ID attribute when viewing the page in a browser. It has most likely changed when being rendered.

how?

Open page in browser (run application) then in your browser, Edit > View Source.

Either look in the HTML source as Mendhak says or you can access the client-side ID of a control from the ClientID property i.e. txtName.ClientID

hi, yes it changed it to MyControl1:sName because I embedded it as a web user control with name MyControl1, so I used this in the script

HTML Code:

---

alert (document.all["MyControl1:sName"].value );

---

however this will be a problem when I reuse the control under a different name...

any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Jewel :)

Generate your javascript from codebehind and use controlname.ClientId in there.

do you mean generate javascript from codebehind then use RegisterStartupScript? but this is not available for user control, right?

hmmm...

This works

VB Code:

Dim strScript As String = "alert (document.all['" & MyClass.ClientID & "_sName'].value );"
        btnOk.Attributes.Add("onclick", strScript)

Thanks,

I wont put resolved yet coz i don't know if another problem would sneak in...

If another problem comes up, you can post a new thread. ;)
