Is there a way to enable a postback from a .htm page to a .aspx page? For instance values are inputted by a user into the .htm page and when the user clicks the button, I want it to trigger a .aspx page which will recieve the inputted data and carry out a certain function. I only know how to use the postbackurl between .aspx pages but is there a way to do the similar thing from a .htm to .aspx?

I went through the code, but I didnt get some parts of it. What does this fragment of code mean?

function recordvalue(button)
{
var hiddentext=document.getElementById("Hidden1");

And my .htm page has a 'drop down list' with values in it. I know in .aspx I can do it easily using the dropdownlist.selected etc but to be done from retrieving it in .htm and posting it to .aspx, have any ideas?

Hi,

The function is taking hidden field value and assigning to a varaible.

babymonsta:

function recordvalue(button)
{
var hiddentext=document.getElementById("Hidden1");

If you want DropDownList(since html guess it would be select) value you can do the same

unction recordvalue()
{
var ddl=document.getElementById("DropDownListID");
var mySelection = ddl.value;

//It gives your ddl selected value
//Do whatever you want here with this mySelection variable
form1.action="Default.aspx?value="+mySelection
}

Currently on my .htm page I have a couple of textboxes, a dropdownlist and a button. I tried to do a retrieve and post of the values inputted in the textbox however whenever I click my button, nothing seems to happen, so probably Ive done something wrong.

Do I have to write several different record value functions for each textbox and another for my dropdownlist?

The one I wrote for my textbox (trial and error) is

function recordvalue()

{

var nametext = document.getElementById("name");

form1.action="confirm.aspx?value="+nametext.value}

However when I click my button, nothing happens. My confirm.aspx page doesnt come to play.

I put this code in my .aspx.cs page

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string str = Request.QueryString["value"].ToString();
        Label1.Text = str;
    }

Did I miss something out?

This might be another way of doing

//HTML Page

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

 <input id="Text1" name="test" type="text" />

    <select id="Select1" name="test">

    </select>
     <input id="Submit1" type="submit" value="submit" />  
     </form>

//code-behind page of test.aspx

    {
        String[] values = Request.Form.GetValues("test");
                  
         foreach (String val in values)  
         {              
             Response.Write(val + "<br/>");  
         } 
    }

First be sure that you call the function recordvalue in your Button like:

<input id="Button1" type="button" value="1" onclick="recordvalue(this)" />

Then check the url displayed in the browser once it navigates to confirm.aspx. the url should have something like this http://localhost/WebSiteName/Confirm.aspx?value = thevalueyoupass

    }

Above will work perfectly for you.

babymonsta:
function recordvalue()
{
var nametext = document.getElementById("name");
form1.action="confirm.aspx?value="+nametext.value}

Instead of form1.action

you can try this also

window.location="confirm.aspx?value="+nametext.value;

You have to make sure that action property in the form tag is pointing to correct .aspx page and also its path. Try just by creating a new HTML and .aspx page if possible
