retrieving attribute of textbox using page.request

[ton]

Hi,

I'm using Ajax (AjaxPro) this works fine. (In vb.net)

To get update several controls I connect the server and these controls are
updated.
When saving these values I use aa=page.request ("TextboxID" ) which gives me
the modified Text property

in case of a combobox i get with this method the selectedkey value. Great !!
Now my problem:

I also use in a certain textbox a attribute "key" which is set in my
javascript. I know it is there, but I have no idea how to get it.
I know there is a workaround via using a hidden textfield, but that is not
the solution I want to have.

please help

Thanks

That's about the only option you have (unless you want to write to
cookies from javascript).

For the browser an aspx page is just a plain html form. A POST will
only send the values of the various input controls, not any other
attributes that you may have set.

Why don't you want a hidden input?

me the modified Text property

This is very much ASP Classic syntax. Webcontrols like asp:TextBox are
persisted across a postback via ViewState. You should consider using aa =
TextBoxID.Text instead...

I know there is a workaround via using a hidden textfield, but that is not
the solution I want to have.

Why not? Hidden fields were created precisely for this sort of
functionality.. .
