  the same way you would do it for a simple `input`, the AjaxDropdown will generate a hidden input with id and name attributes, you can use a simple textbox instead of the AjaxDropdown and you'll have the same problem to solve if you have an html `input` you either put it inside a form and post the form (manually by the user or via js), or get it via js `var val = $('#id').val()` and send this val with an ajax request.

  • Somehow I end up doing the right thing (after a lot of time wasting) even though I'm not knowledgeable enough on this new stuff. Its working now because I renamed my Input variable defined in the page code to the same name as the AjaxDropdown (after you told me about the hidden field) i wanted to get the value from. I was in happy shock when it worked because I'm trying out things and guessing largely. I sent a new comment asking for more help and then deleted it after i got it working. Thank You again
