You can't. This is a security feature of HTML and has nothing to do with
ASP.Net. html input values are read only. If they weren't, anyone could
put a hidden html input field and set the value like "c:\passwords.t xt" and
when the user clicked any button they'd have their passworsd.txt file
uploaded without ever knowing it.

CMIIW, but that's only true if the input's type is file, and the form's
ENCTYPE attribute is "multipart/form-data".

You need to response.write the variable's value into the html:

<input type="hidden" value="<%=nTota l%>">

doh...for some reason I read that it was an HtmlFileInput control :)

anyways, why use the old ASP method of Response.WRite? Declare it as a
webcontrol and set the value programatically .

I'm still in the learning phase myself. My mind is still firmly entrenched
in the classic ASP way of doing things.

Let it be mentioned that Javascript is not my forte, so the solution to this could very well be a simple one. I am working on an AJAX function where I can pass a URL and the target ID in, and have the function update the target ID with the URL. There is a bit more to it then that, but that is the basics. my difficulty comes when I try to assign a variable to: "document.getElementById('-> var gose here <-').innerHTML"

Hi, Is there any way to modify the style of the button portion of an HtmlInput control? I have a CSS class which I use for all of the buttons to try to make them a little less ugly than the standard grey but, if I apply this to an HtmlInput control, all that does is change the background and foreground colours in the textbox portion. Similarly, if I modify the style attribute, that only applies to the textbox portion too.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
