Request.Form.Get on a div?

[Trebor100]

Hi all,

I need to get to the inner html of a div command. I thought i would have been able to do it with a request.form.get but have had no joy. the html is:

<DIV style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; WIDTH: 496px; HEIGHT: 20px" ms_positioning="FlowLayout" id="adminUserAmendLoadTitle" runat="server">SOMETHING</DIV>


the c# line is:

string strPerson = Request.Form.Get("adminUserAmendLoadTitle").ToString();

Any corrections would be sweet.

Cheers,
Rob

have you tried putting a runat="server" in your div tag then accessing its properties that way?

After adding the runat, you also need to declare that id on the codebehind so ASP.NET can map that element to the corresponding server-side member, so you can then access its properties.

Request.Form normally takes INPUT elements only when the form is submitted.

my 2 cents.

he already had an ID in his DIV, that's why I didn't suggest that too
