maintain the state of a hidden html control.

[George]

Hi,
I have a usercontrol which handles the menu functions which is
included in the main form.My requirement is to pass a variable to the
server and maintain its state when I click an item in the menu.
I have a hidden htmlcontrol(run at="server") and i set a value to the
control thru a javascript.
Then submitted the form using "document.forms ('frmMain').sub mit();".
I am not able to get the value of hiddenhtml control in the server.Is
there any way to get around this?

thanks

It won't give you the exact answer, but it will help you (page 3) understand
what is going on with your hidden field.

You can get the value of the hidden field in the server side using
request.params( "<name of the hidden field>") or using request.forms(" <name
of the hidden field>")
