Why did you start another thread asking the *SAME THING*???

In any case, *CLEARLY* you should be doing this in ASP.NET code and *NOT* using JavaScirpt. Period.

And there is NO REASON to use a <div> and then hide the <asp:TextBox> by hiding the <div>.

Instead, when you determine that you want to hide the form field yet still get its value when the <form> is posted, just use

Code:

<asp:HiddenField id="somename" runat="server" value="somevalue" />

instead of

Code:

<asp:TextBox id="somename" runat="server" value="somevalue" />

(And, by the way, you didn't even have the syntax for the textbox correct!! You set its value by assigning to a value= attribute! Not as you were doing it.
