Problem with GetElementID in User Control

[kamalika_kk]

:)Hi, I'm programming in asp.net 2003. I designed a search utility using javascript in asp.net. The code wis working well in the asp.net page. I'v a text box called txtSearch. To reference this textbox value, I'm using this javascript in a javascript function called at the onkeypress event of the text box. var pre = document.getElementById ("txtSearch").value;.//(I'm running it in IE 4 now) Now I want to convert it to a user control. :sigh:This statement is not working for the user control. 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 is no final defeat untill you stop trying.......

u have to do some functionality before the getElementById method u need to concat the user control instance id then "_" then the element name like this: var strSearch = "ucUserControl1_" + "txtSearch"; document.getElementById(strSearch ); This way u can access it hope this would help

Best Regards 3ala2 :)
