TextBox set to Readonly loses value

[Doogie]

I have a textbox that I have set to Readonly. This textbox loses it's
value on post back. Setting autopostback = true doesn't keep the
value. How do I keep the value?

Unfortunately we have specific standards in our company that prevent

How about Session? As far as I know Session states are maintained on
the server rather than the client so may be more acceptable if that's
the basis of the objection.
