[newbie] Form does not retain values when refreshed

[jon 80]

Why doesn't this form retain the values when I key them in the textbox? I've tried with Mozilla and IE. CurrencyConvertor.aspx

This is the ASP.NET forum. You've posted HTML. HTML is client side only, there is no mechanism there for saving state. I suggest you buy a book on ASP.NET and work through it.

Thanks, that's just what I was doing.

You aren't using any server controls. ASP.NET use a mechanism called ViewState to maintain the values of a page. Try converting the input types to runat=server or change it to ASP.NET server control.

Use aspx controls and enable viewstate...

I've tried rebuilding from scratch, and scouted the web unsuccessfully trying to find a solution. In my code I had updated the attributes so that they are converted to server controls, hence, processed by the server. In the previous version, I was viewing the page successfully; within the source tag, I'm seeing the _VIEWSTATE, hence, assuming that view state is already enabled. Am I doing something wrong? I've noted that: 1. the control "US" is not recognized by Intellisense (see .cs file below) 2. when I load the webpage an error is displayed; this was not displayed before Compiler Error Message: CS0115: 'ASP.currencyconvertor_aspx.GetTypeHashCode()': no suitable method found to override Detailed error below. :confused:

try runat="server" for ur form controls

[jon 80]

The runat="server" are already in my code. It's noted that my previous post doesn't appear here, did I do something wrong?
