Hidden Texbox

[Rob T]

I have a user control that need to have a hidden textbox. (I have some JS
that needs to get some info out of it) If I make a standard textbox
(<asp:TextBox ID="txtTest" Runat="server" />) in my control it works
fine....of course it shows it on the screen

It seems so simple...but how the heck do you create a hidden textbox that is
a control?

BTW, I've done hidden textboxes in the past my just doing a
response.write("<input type=hidden ...>") before, but now since I will have
several of the same controls on the page, I need to keep track of the ID of
the box. I figured using a control is nice since it remembers the values it
has on a postback.......

Thanks.

Do you know about this method? Hidden fields are the way to go.

Page.RegisterHiddenField("somename", "somevalue")

You can try:
TextBox.Visible = false

Setting Visible=false removes the HTML from the form...I had to be a hidden
textbox.

<input type=hidden id=hiddenField runat=server>

or create the control in the codebehind (see htmlcontrols)
