id rather not use an asp.net text box. i want to do it with an html input as I mentioned. can it be done?
Yes.
and code behind will be
<input id="email" runat="server" type="Email" Placeholder="Mail Address"/>
and code behind will be
Response.Write(this.email.Value);
ASKER
says "email is not a member" that is essentially what i tried. i dont think its recognizing type=email, which is valid HTML5. It will only work if type is text
I have a working example of this code it is working just fine. Can you post your pages? Also are you getting any other error?
ASKER
i can't post my page because it wont compile. but the aspx code is this:
<input id="name" type="text" placeholder="Your name" runat="server">
<input id="email" type="email" placeholder="Your email adress" runat="server">
That page is fine, no errors. the error is on the codebind with this line:
Public Class _004contact
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Response.Write(name.Value)
Response.Write(Me.email.Va
End Sub
End Class
The error says:
"Error 174 'email' is not a member of 'ther2._004contact'.
<input id="name" type="text" placeholder="Your name" runat="server">
<input id="email" type="email" placeholder="Your email adress" runat="server">
That page is fine, no errors. the error is on the codebind with this line:
Public Class _004contact
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Response.Write(name.Value)
Response.Write(Me.email.Va
End Sub
End Class
The error says:
"Error 174 'email' is not a member of 'ther2._004contact'.
ASPX code can't be just these two lines. It generally has page level directives, valid HTML and BODY tags then Form tags and within the form tag you will put in your controls. Or have you put codebehind on the same page?
ASKER
i didn't post the entire aspx page, that wouldn't be relevant. the aspx code I quoted is inside
<form id="form1" runat="server">
the head line says:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="004contact.asp
<form id="form1" runat="server">
the head line says:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="004contact.asp
ASKER
there are no errors in the aspx page. it is fine. the moment i take out the VB line of code it works great.
ASKER
Response.Write(name.Value)
Response.Write(email.Value
Response.Write(email.Value
Try
<input id="name" type="text" placeholder="Your name" runat="server"/>
<input id="email" type="email" placeholder="Your email adress" runat="server"/>
ASKER
that doesn't work. I have simplified everything:
and
<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="test.aspx.vb" Inherits="test" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<input id="name" type="text" placeholder="Your name" runat="server"/>
<input id="email" type="email" placeholder="Your email adress" runat="server"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
and
Partial Class test
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Response.Write(name.Value)
Response.Write(email.Value)
End Sub
End Class
