Question

I am using JQuery to update some input values – and on the screen it looks as if the values are being set properly.

I am doing this:

 var company = $('[id$=' + idTag + ']');
                            if (company) {
                                company.val(ret.CompanyDocTitle);
                                company.attr("DocumentGuid", ret.CompanyDocumentGuid);
                            }

I can see the input text field getting set – so I know it has value.

When I go to save the information (Posting to ASPX page) when I try to retrieve the Text of my input box, its coming up blank

myobjtext = P1bRespComp.text

my aspx page is using a TextBox

<asp:TextBox ID="P1bRespComp" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox>

any thoughts on this?

EDIT
Found the issue I think – my INPUT field is marked as Disabled to prevent users from entering data in there – however – I do want the Value and other Attributes –
Is there a way I can get the Update value and attributes on this disabled INPUT field?

You can improve your js using this:

$('#'+ idTag )
   .val(ret.CompanyDocTitle)
   .attr("DocumentGuid", ret.CompanyDocumentGuid);

Jquery only set value and attribute if the element exist.

I think you have to set the “name” attr in ASP.

<asp:TextBox ID="P1bRespComp" name="P1bRespComp" runat="server"
></asp:TextBox>
