What happened to the Request.Form?

I've got the following code:

<%= "myText = " + Request.Form["myText"] %>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">

<input type="text" id="myText">
<input type="button" value="submit">
</form>

Using view->source in IE I see:

<form name="Form1" method="post" action="testform.aspx" id="Form1">
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE"
value="dDwxNzg0NjA0NTg0Ozs+i3a+vle2SX4KbtVWA04XJ100Y4s=" />


<input type="text" id="myText">
<input type="button" value="submit">
</form>

However you can't access myText in Request.Form when post back. Why isn't it
in Request.Form collection? Is it inside ViewState? Thanks, Moheb
 
It's still there, but it works on the name attribute (like it always has)

<input type="text" id="myText" name="myText" >

My bad. Haven't been working on non-server code for 2 years, thanks-Moheb
