Question

Is it possible to do something like this

$("#popupForgot").append("<asp:TextBox ID='emailTextF' runat='server' Width='200px' Text='" + $.cookie("forLogin") + "'></asp:TextBox>")

I need to append an asp.net element to a div tag which will have the cookie value as it’s text. I’ve tried with the code above and it doesn’t work.

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

It is not possible to do this, because asp:TextBox is rendered via server-side, whereas jQuery works on client-side.

However you can render your textbox with asp:TextBox control and then you can change its value with jQuery:

$("#emailTextF").text($.cookie("forLogin"));

UPDATE

It turns out that asp:TextBox rendered id isn’t equal to id parameter (used inside asp:TextBox), try this:

$("#<%= emailTextF.ClientID %>").text($.cookie("forLogin"));
