[JayaSiji Gopal]

i have a tabbed pane control ,with two tabs. the first tab, i have a textbox. on click of the second tab, i want the value of this textbox. how do i do this?

i tried the following: it didnt help.

  var hdlyStrt1 = document.getElementById("hldyStartDate1");
alert("Holiday start" + hdlyStrt1) ; 
 
where hldyStartDate1 is the name of the textbox control. i get Holiday start null in the alert box.

document.getElementById("hldyStartDate1"); is referencing an object. You need to look at the properties. Not sure how you tabs work, but if they require post back, than that textbox is probably no there to reference.
