mixing HTML controls with code behind controls

I had a similar problem as Ferdi - 19 Aug 2003 - "Postback after carriage
return input" where pressing the enter key would postback my asp textboxes
prematurely - I want the user to click on a button after filling in the
text boxes and pressing enter messes up my plans. Using Giscard's advice
(onkeydown="return event.keyCode!=13")with HTML Input text boxes solved the
postback problem. But now I'm stuck trying to get the text from the HTML
text boxes back into my asp C# code.

Thanks,

Hi Norm,

If you assign HTML text control's properties runat=server
and id, e.g. htmlTxtInput, then you can deal with the
control pretty similar to server text control:

string inputValue = this.HtmlTxtInput.Value; // server
control's value is .Text.

Robbe,

This is exactly what I needed! Thanks!
