well a page gets rendered in phases. page_init page_load page_onprerender page_render
<%# %> happens way after page_load for many reasons (mostly at that time DataGrids, Repeaters and DataList will be filled up since they are empty during page_load) so not all other things on page may be able to see that textbox value in early phases of page execution since value is filled in much later. Traccing gives you a little better idea that init, load, onprerender, etc. happen see http://www.learnasp.com/learn/debug1.aspx http://www.learnasp.com/learn/debug2.aspx On Sun, 16 Jan 2005 17:31:25 -0800 (PST), Karen Kungowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thank you Paul Ousterhout, Naweed Akram, Charles > Carroll.
