Master Pages and Javascript

[MonkeeX]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert my normal ASP.NET site to one which uses master
pages. I have a separate js file which sets a HTML control on the form
as follows:-

form1.ctllname.value = mainDiv.HTML;

Of course the form does not exist anymore in this file as it is now as
asp:content page and I get the wrror message:-

'form1 is undefined'

How can I set this same control in the new context?

Seems straight forward but I can't crack it.


Thanks,
MonkeyBoy

When your page is loaded, do a View Source and see how the various objects
have been renamed...

Then, maybe try something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('<%=ctlname.ClientID%>').value = mainDiv.HTML;
</script>

Having been thinking about this on the wrong level for sometime I
finally came to my senses (tip: take breaks). You just need to do a
getElementById as normal.

var ctllname= document.getElementById("ctllname");
ctllname.value = mainDiv.HTML;

Thanks Mark, I got it working using my version above. Cheers!
