Loop Through Textboxes

I want to loop through all textbox controls to determine
their .text value. If the .text value is not "" then
display the textbox.

I have tried the following with no luck. Any help would
be appreciated.

Dim ctrl as Control
For Each ctrl in Page.Controls
If ctrl.GetType.To String
= "System.Web.UI. WebControls.Tex tBox" Then
ctrl.Attributes .Add("style", "DISPLAY: ")
End If
Next

Your code is running server side so you may as well take advantage of server control properties rather than worrying about client-side attributes as you have done. See also I have changed the type comparison

Dim ctrl as Contro
For Each ctrl in Page.Control
If ctrl.GetType Is GetType(System. Web.UI.WebContr ols.TextBox) The
ctrl.Visible = Tru
End I
Nex

That didn't work. Here is an example of one of my
textboxes:

<asp:textbox id="txt1" style="DISPLAY: none"
runat="server" Width="80px"></asp:textbox>

I am using client side javascript to show / hide the text
box based on the selection of a listbox. I am posting
back to the page after entering text in the textbox.
When posting back all of the textboxes are not displayed
because of the style property (display: none).

Basically I want to display all text boxes when there is
text in them after posting to the page. But I also need
them hidden prior to the listbox selection. Hope I
explained correctly.

Stupid question: How do I loop through many text boxes on a page and get values for each box and put into an array? For example document.CreateEvent.test1.value will not take an array value for the object name. Tried to figure out if associative arrays might help but failed miserably. Obviously I can name the text boxes anything, but can't get the values out.

Apologies in advance if this sounds slow-witted, but I didn't find it here. Need to populate some textboxes on a form.

However, I haven't found anything that describes how to reference the textboxes sequentially ... evaluating the hard part of the textbox name, with the number of the loop iteration, to address the...

ASP.NET 2.0 I have code that updates a database from a number of textboxes on a web form. I've had to hard coded references to my web form textboxes. I'd like to know how I can reference them via a for next loop. For example, each time I give my command parameters a value I hard coded the textbox.text reference. cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Rank", Me.ddlQ1.Text)
