Asp.net form fields are returned blank when in bootstrap modal

Question

I am trying to submit an asp.net form inside a download mod. for some reason, all fields are returned empty (if I try this with fields outside the modal, it works fine). I saw some posts about this, but not the solutions solved my problem.

Thank you for your help on this. THANKS IN EXTENDED!

            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>

Code behind:

protected void savead_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string x = idtoupdate.Value; // this field is outside of the modal - returns its correct value
    string y = modaltbadname.Text; //returns ""

    DB.UpdateAd(modaltbadname.Text, modaltbtbpromotional.Text, modalddpage.SelectedValue, modaltbstartdate.Text, modaltbenddate.Text, int.Parse(idtoupdate.Value));
}
