How to get ASP.NET text fields with the value of the entered form data? The code below is basically a sample modal dialog form from the jQuery user interface , but with ASP.NET text fields. The message is back, but the text field is not updated.
After sending back I have no values in my test boxes. I am sure it is easy, but my brain is blocked and cannot understand why.
