HiddenField

Hello All,

I am trying to make use the HiddenField server control to make a
server-side variable visible to a client script.
I set the value of the HiddenField inside of the Page_Load event.

protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.myHiddenFi eld.Value = myVar;
}

I am able to access this value in my client script.
If a PostBack occurs, myHiddenField.V alue is updated server-side, but
the value client-side always remains the same - the initial value when
the page first loads...

I'm missing something...poi nters appreciated..

Thanks in advance

What do you mean when you say the value is updated server side? Have you
stepped through with the debugger to be sure? Have you viewed the output
source to make sure the hidden field value is not updated on the client
side?

I tried a simple example based on your scenario, and the values are updated
as expected.

Ensure that you only assign the initial value when the page loads for the
first time:
protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!this.IsPostBa ck)
this.myHiddenFi eld.Value = myVar;
}

I step-thru the code and the value is updated, but when my client-
script runs, the value is not updated and if I right-click and select
view source, the value has not been updated.
Puzzled..

I've added a HiddenField control to my page and some javascript to show it's value in an alert box when a button is pressed. The value that is displayed in the alert box is correct, but when I post the form the value for the HiddenField control is empty. I'm pretty new to ASP.net so I'm not really sure what could cause this. I'm using client side javascript to set the value in the HiddenField, not sure if that matters.

My ASP.NET page generates some HTML, then sticks it into a hiddenfield so a javascript can access it and write it to a popup window. I had to disable validation for this page, as HTML inside a field triggers ASP.NET's cross-site scripting security. Now, this was all working well and good until I changed my navigation menus from plain images and anchors to ASP:imagebuttons. The navi menu is on my masterpage and in now within the same...

Hi! I would like to write something in Javascript to HiddenField: <asp:HiddenField ID="hiddenMy" runat="server" Value="" /> And in the code behind read this value. But this HiddenField is in user control. I use this control in many pages and in every page this field has different value.. I don't know why, but it's error when I do: var hidden = document.GetElementById('<%= this.gvClient.ClientID %>');
