Hi, I'm programming in asp.net 2003. I designed a search utility using javascript in asp.net. But I'm stuck wen I'm trying to convert this utility to user control. There's a text box called txtSearch. This statement is not working here:-(I'm running it in IE 4 now)

var pre = document.getElementById ("txtSearch").value;

I tried to trap the value with this:

var sndr = window.event.srcElement;
var pre = sndr.text;

alert (pre);

the alert showed "undefined"....
can u tell me what r the other ways of getting the value?..pls



There's no defeat untill you stop trying....

Hiii daffodils!!

Plz check the user control id with text box called txtSearch.
basically when user control load on the page(in asp.net),it will generate the
id with(usercontrolname_textboxname).

plz check usercontrolid_txtSearch in ur getElementById.

also check the view source on the page,there you can exactly find the id of that txtSearch with like xxxx_txtSearch (where xxxx is usercontrolid)
hope this will help you

Cheers :)
