I want to use the input button - How do I see the value on the form submit

this part is inside the form,

<input type="button" runat="server" id="t1id" value="how do you see this value if changed" />

<input type="button" runat="server" id="t2id" value="how do you see this value if changed" />

on call back,
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write("id= " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Form["t1id"]);
}

the above only work for the button I click - how do I see the value if I do not click it but click t2 button? REALIZE I AM NOT USING ASP buttons!!

Hi goodk,

HTML button posts the values inside FORM tag except other buttons to identify which button is clicked.
But there is an alternative, you can use a input hidden field to store the value of a button.
e.g.
<input type='hidden' id='hdnB1' name='hdnB1' value='Button1 text' />
<input type='hidden' id='hdnB2' name='hdnB2' value='Button2 text' />

I kind of figured out that I have to equate hidden fields to displayed button field, so I did the following.

I am facing a small problem though. when I use the master page, and the form is located in it. It is not working, that is it does not know form1?

How to resolve this?

function submitform() {

form1.hCal1.value = form1.Cal1.value;
form1.hCal2.value = form1.Cal2.value;
document.form1.submit();

}
