<Div> Help PLEASE!!!!!

[Guest]

I am working on a control that will act like a <Textarea> HTML Control that
will allow persistent data for postback. Problem is that the data will be
contained between the opening and closing <DIV> tag. Problem is there is no
Text property as there is with the <Textarea> tag. Does anyone know of any
means of grabbing the data between the div tag inorder to persist it? Will I
have to use a hidden input control? I have tried (unsuccessfully) the
InnerHTML Container control. Or Do I have to use a combination of both?

The client side property for grabbing the textarea is .value

document.getElementById('mytextarea').value

If you used a server side TextBox ASP.NET control and
set it's TextMode="MultiLine", then you access the value
via the .Text property.

Took both of these out of a working ASP.NET application.

Either of these being inside a DIV is irrelevant.

Basically, you need to get innerHTML property of the div and to pass it over
to the server. Using a hidden input seems to be a standard and simple
solution for that.
