updating textbox value

I have an input tag having some text in it. Now I would like that onclick of a button the text will be changed.

For some reason it is not being changed.

This is the input tag:

 <input id="network_table" type="text" value="oldValue" runat="server"/>

the following is the way I am trying to change the value of the input tag:

network_table.Value = "newValue";

You could try and assign some meaningless class to the input and use that as a reference point to get in hold of the input field.

<input id="network_table" type="text" value="oldValue" runat="server" class="myInputField"/>

$('.myInputField').val('newValue');

Using the id will not work because you are using the 'runat=server' and it makes the id unavailable on client side and you would need to get the unique id first to be able to get in hold of it. This is a lot cleaner way but you need to make sure not to use the class elsewhere to avoid ambiguous results.

Here is a jsfiddle example which does what you want but on load. http://jsfiddle.net/yX5ze/

Bind the "onclick" event and apply this these methods:

In jQuery :

$('#network_table').val("your val");

http://docs.jquery.com/Val

Javascript

document.getElementById('network_table').value = "your val";

you can do it serverside with "OnClick" event on button, assuming your controls are defined with runat="server" attribute
