I have an input field defined outside the <form> area. Its a simple html
text input that is used to enter the number of hours.

<input id="HoursField" name="hours" type="text" />

I want to access this field from the server side (c# code). I tried these
two methods to access the field but they dont work. Please help.

String[] tempArray;
tempArray = Request.Form.GetValues("hours");
Response.Write (tempArray[0]);

---

string val = Request.QueryString["hours"].ToString();
Response.Write (val);

Hi Jessica,

To access the html control in the server side we have to include the
property runat="server" in the input tag,

<input id="HoursField" name="hours" runat="server" type="text"
value="60:00"/>

In the C# code you can access the HoursField by using the code

Response.Write(HoursField.Value);

Regards,

Valli.
