Ok for sake of brevity I'm going to shorten the code so hopefully you
can see what I'm trying to do.


    <asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames="ID"
DataSourceID="SamplesDSource"
        DefaultMode="Insert">
        <InsertItemTemplate>
....

                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                <asp:Label ID="Label29" runat="server" Text="M2M
Shipping Address"></asp:Label></td>
                            <td colspan="2">
                                <hr style="width:100%" />
                                <input id="M2MShipAddresstxt" type="text"
disabled="disabled" style="width:340px" /><br />
                                <input id="M2MShipAddressIDtxt" type="hidden"
style="width:340px" value="" />
                                <a href="javascript:;" onclick="window.open
('M2MShippingPopup.aspx?
TextBox=M2MShipAddressIDtxt&ResultsBox=M2MShipAddresstxt','cal','width=550,height=225,left=270,top=180')">Select
Address ASP</a>
                                <hr style="width:100%" />
                            </td>
                        </tr>

....
                        <tr>
                            <td align="center" colspan="3">
                                &nbsp;
                                <asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server"
Text="Submit" CommandName="Insert" CausesValidation="True"
OnClick="btnSubmit_Click" /></td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
        </InsertItemTemplate>
    </asp:FormView>



Then in the popup window I have a gridview that runs this script when
the user selects a value (gvAddress_SelectedIndexChanged)

   script(1) = "<script>window.opener.document.forms[0]." +
controlHdn.Value + ".value = '"
   script(2) = gvAddress.SelectedDataKey.Value.ToString
   script(3) = "';self.close()"
   script(4) = "</" + "script>"


So the javascript takes the value from the gridview and on the parent
page it populates the:

<input id="M2MShipAddressIDtxt" type="hidden" style="width:340px"
value="" />


That all works correctly except I cannot read this input to add it to
the dictionary during the FormView1_ItemInserting event.  I've tried
everything I can think of including

Request.Form("M2MShipAddressIDtxt")

and

FormView1.FindControl("M2MShipAddressIDtxt")

But the code will not see that hidden input or any HTML input no
matter what I do.  I can get it to see asp.net inputs such as
asp:textbox but only if they're enabled and visible which kind of
defeats the point of a hidden input.

Thanks for the help!
