The current context for id does not exist

How can I get hold a session from date picker?

For all my textbox, I hold it using : 

 Session["location"] = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text;
 Session["time"] = DropDownList2.SelectedItem.Text;
 Session["day"] = DropDownList3.SelectedItem.Text;  
 Session["IsChauffeurUsed"] = DropDownList4.SelectedItem.Text;

But for my text box date picker, when I write the code

 Session["date"] = datepicker.Text;

It gives me an error, the current context does not exist. The date picker text box is : 

<div class="demo"><p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p></div>

Hope you can help.

Thanks.

Set runat=server attribute to convert html tag to Html server control.

<input type="text" runat="server" id="datepicker">

and use value attribute because it is now ASP.NET Web Server control.

Session["date"] = datepicker.Value;

Edit: This works perfectly on my side.

<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/jquery-ui-git.css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.23/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            $("#datePicker").datepicker();
            $("#<%=TextBox1.ClientID %>").datepicker();
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <input type="text" id="datePicker" runat="server" />
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
