Hello all,
I'm a relatively new ASP.net programmer and am having a problem I'm
hoping one of you pros out there can help me out with. I've got a
formview setup and working properly however within the formview I have
some hidden input tags that contain various pieces of data that the
user could care less about (which is why I don't want them to see
it). I don't know how to read the data out of the html input tags so
I can add it to my dictionary when submitting the formview. Normally
if you have a tag such as:
<input id="ShipAddressID" type="hidden" style="width:340px"
value="whatever" />
You could read it in code using ShipAddressID.Value but I cannot do
that when the input is within a formview control. I've tried this but
it doesn't work either.
FormView1.FindControl("ShipAddressID")
I have to use an hidden input because I have a popup window that uses
javascript to pass a value back to the parent page so I can't use a
label or any other asp.net control (that I know of). As far as I
know, I can only pass a value back via javascript to standard HTML
input tags.
So any ideas?
Thanks so much!
-Tim
