I have one ASPX page that calls multiple ascx pages.  Each ascx page 
contains several <asp:textbox runat="server"> and <input runat="server"> 
types.  At the bottom of each ascx page is a button that simply walks the 
user to the next ascx page to be loaded within my ASPX page. 

Are the <input> and <textbox> items of each ascx page stored as part of 
the ASPX viewstate??  I mean...if I get some input in ascx1 and then go 
to ascx2, are the ascx1 <input> & <textbox> items maintained as part of 
the viewstate so that if I go back to the ascx1 page, the values are 
automatically there???  They are all being loaded within the same ASPX 
page.  Sometimes it seems to work and sometimes not. 

I guess what I'm trying to ask is, do I need to save the ascx1 items as 
session variables before loading the ascx2 page so that if I come back to 
the ascx1 page later, I can show the ascx1 values?  Or, are the ascx1 
items automatically saved as part of the ASPX viewstate (no matter which 
particular ascx page is visible) and so I don't have to worry since they 
will automatically be shown with their original values?? 

I know viewstate isn't maintained between pages....but I'm actually on 
the same aspx page but just loading different ascx pages so, to me, I'm 
on the same page. 

Thanks!!!!!
