The obvious question is why not add the runat attribute?

if i did add runat="server" i can access mydiv.innerText from .cs page. please let me know if any way to access that.

When you add a runat=server attribute to an html element it is automatically wrapped as a HtmlGenericControl. Your first attempt gained you nothing. So rather than this

HtmlGenericControl div = (HtmlGenericControl)Page.FindControl("mydiv");
if (div != null)
{
div.InnerHtml = "test message";
}

You could have this

div.InnerText = "test message";

when i add runat="server" no need to access via

HtmlGenericControl div = (HtmlGenericControl)this.FindControl("mydiv");

You can not access a Div without add runar="server" in code behind. But you can get input element without add runar="server" like this: in code behind string pName = Request.Form['pName'];
