Question

I have a user control named lets say ucName that has a property named InitialValue.
Everything’s fine , Im rendering the control and setting the initial value.
In my aspx page, Im doing like this:

<td>                
    <tagprefixName:ucName ID="Editor" runat="server"   InitialValue="bla bla"/>
</td>

I have a button that will post back the page, but before post backing, im doing:

<asp:Button  ID="SaveButton" runat="server" Text="Save" OnClick="SaveRes" OnClientClick="SaveValue()" />.

In javascript function I want to get the value of the initial value of my user control:
I tried many solutions, but they are either returning null or undefined.

function SaveValue() {
            var v= $("[id$=Editor]").attr("InitialValue");
            var v = $("#Editor").attr("InitialValue"); 
            var v= $("input[id$=Editor]").attr("InitialValue");
            var v= $("span[id$=Editor]").attr("InitialValue");//since the uc is rendered as span
}

How can I get the InitalValue of my uc ??
Thanks alot

EDIT
This is my html:

<span id="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_Editor"><input name="ctl00$PlaceHolderMain$2f1445d6-b13d-4f8f-9497-9c14e5d2b076" type="text" value="fgerf" id="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_2f1445d6-b13d-4f8f-9497-9c14e5d2b076" /></span>

NB: I tried using .val() .value() but still getting an empty

Answer 1

The uc is rendered as an input inside a span has the uc’s id, so the javascript code will be:

$("span[id$=Editor] input[type=text]").val();
