Question

I have an html control (not a server control) like textarea. How can I get the value in this control from the server side when I cause a postback by clicking on a button, without writing the value in the url.

You’ll need to reference out of the Form object.

If you have a textbox like

<input type="text" id="txt" name="txt" value="Testing 1 2 3..."/>

Then you could access it in your code-behind like this…

Request.Form["txt"]
