I have been trying to set the value of a hidden input by using Javascript and then access the value from within my C# codebehind. When I run the code that is copied below, the value that is assigned to assignedIDs is "", which I assume is the default value for a hidden input. If I manually set the value in the html tag, then assignedIDs is set to that value.
This behavior suggests to me that the value of the input is being reset (re-rendered?) between the onClientClick and onClick events firing.
I would appreciate any help with the matter. I have spent hours trying to solve what seems like a very simple problem.
html/javascript:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Admin Page - Manage Tasks</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function PopulateAssignedIDHiddenInput() {
var source = document.getElementById('assignedLinguistListBox');
var s = "";
var count = source.length;
for (var i = count - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
var item = source.options[i];
if (s == "") { s = source.options[i].value; }
else { s = s.concat(",",source.options[i].value); }
}
document.getElementById('assignedIDHiddenInput').Value = s;
// I have confirmed that, at this point, the value of
// the hidden input is set properly
}
</script>
</head>
