Re: how to transfer textbox value from .net page to html page textbox?

My question is both .net and javascript and I thought it would be best
posted here.

I have a pop up html page (it just has to be html) with a textbox and a
button next to it. When the user clicks on the button an asp.net page

Once it leaves the server, it is HTML. ASP .NET is irrelevant after that.

pops up which allows the user to upload a photo. The asp.net code then
puts the url of this photo into a textbox in the asp.net page. I now
want to be able to press a button and have the value from the asp.net
textbox transferred to the html textbox. Can you please show me how

ASP is on the server, I guess you mean in the browser page.

with example code? I assume the code has to be in javascript?

<script type="text/javascript">

function writeText(id, txt)
{
var s;
if ( document.createTextNode
&& document.getElementById
&& (s = document.getElementById(id)) ){
while (s.firstChild) s.removeChild(s.firstChild);
s.appendChild(document.createTextNode(txt));
}
}

</script>

<form action="">
<input type="file" id="fileName">
<input type="button" value="Show file path"
onclick="writeText('thePath', this.form.fileName.value);">
</form>
<div>Here is the filename and path: <span id="thePath"></span></div>
