The value set to controls at client side donot persist for each page load, else it is again set to the default value...??
I am trying to set date to the textbox field using javascript (Client side), the function is as follows.
function From_calendarPicker()
{
var sDPath = "../Calender.aspx";
var oWin = window.showModalDialog(sDPath, null, "dialogWidth:300px;dialogHeight:250px;help:0;status:0;scroll:0;center:1");
if (oWin != null)
{
document.getElementById('fromDate').value=oWin;
}
}after calling this function the values reflects at the textbox , but when the page loads by clicking on another server control the set value to textbox disappears and again the default value is seen to the textbox.
Why does this kind of thing happen, at client side it works perfectly, but at each page load or server side it is again set to the default value...??
I tried using Hidden field it worked fine, but the issue is like it is hectic to manage the hidden filed for all the controls and keep a check on their values.
So can anybody suggest any better option for it.
I would be thankful for any kind of help from you all.

How is the element "fromDate" declared? If it is disabled (CodeBehind: fromDate.Enabled = false Client-side: fromDate.disabled = true), that would be the problem as values do not persist on disabled controls. Use the ReadOnly property of the TextBox instead. If that is not the case, I would say that you have to be resetting the TextBox somewhere when the PostBack happens.

NC01 If your textbox is set to ReadOnly it might explain the problem. If it is, check out this post which explains the issue and how to fix it.

ashmah24 It's fine that the textbox is enabled and readonly, but if you change the value of a readonly textbox on the client-side it won't be preserved after a postback. This seems to be the problem you are having. Read the article I posted earlier and see if it helps you.

ramblor Thanx ramblor
the post helped
"The moral of this blog post is that if you have read-only data you can use either disabled or read-only form fields, it really doesn't matter whether or not you receive back the value of the form field in the form's submissions"
This is true for ASP.NET 2.0.......

ashmah24 ramblor:
But in .Net 2.0 if the value of a readonly textbox is updated on the client it won't be preserved after a postback either...You are right I forgot about that. This will work however.
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<input type="button" onclick="onButtonClick();" value="Alter TextBox" />
<asp:button id="postBackButton" runat="server" text="Post Back"></asp:button>
</div>
</form><script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.onload = function ()
{
document.getElementById('<%= TextBox1.ClientID %>').readOnly = true;
}
function onButtonClick()
{
document.getElementById('<%= TextBox1.ClientID %>').value = 'Some new value';
}
// -->
</script>Press the "Alter TextBox" first to change the TextBox's value and then press the "Post Back" to see the value persisted over a PostBack. That would probably also work with the disabled attribute, though I didn't try it.

Set the value of a server control on client-side
I have tried many ways for a couple of days, but was not successful. I have a javascript that I register at startup (inside Page_Load method) and an input field running on server-side.

Set slider value on the client side
Hi there, I'm looking to figure out how I might set the slider's value using client side javascript. I have tried to achieve this by setting the value of the bound and target text boxes but neither have the desired effect as the slider handle never moves. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Cheers, Andrew Nevermind I found it can be done using $find(<behaviour id>).set_Value(); One thing I noticed is that when the above command is used the client side valueChanged handling function is called twice. Is this a bug or have I done something incorrectl...

Setting Values in User Control Based on Session Vars Set After Page Load
Ok ... I have a web app that includes multiple custom user controls on each page. I would like to set values in my "header" control (first one loaded on page) based on session variables I set upon user events in the parent page. For example, the user would select a value from a dropdownlist that sets a session variable, say a certain account number, and I would like that value to appear in the header control on the post back. If I put code to check for the session variable in the page load of the control, it won't show up until a subsequent postback. Basically, I need to ...
