general property changing

[seantuk]

is there a way i can read the property of any alement in my asp page? the property i#m currently trying to read is the value property in this input

<input type="hidden" name="MyContent1" value="start value">

ideally i'd like a system that allows me to read it with something along the lines of 'someObjects.MyContent1.value', that could work with al sort of things.

If you want to read HTML controls using ASP.NET code you will have to add a runat="server" tag to them and include a WithEvent declaration to it.

unfortunatly, i can't use 'runat="server" on this one. is there another way i can look at it?

Why can't you use runat="server"?

a dhtml editor is created within this input when the page is run. the editor throws errors when i use runat="server". value contains the edited html, so i need to see that in the codebehind, so i can save it.

Hmmm can't see why it would error, but anyway, you can probably get the value of it by using Request.Form("MyContent1")
