You could go back to using the ASP TextBoxes and access the ids in JavaScript as follows:

<%= IDofTextBox.ClientID %>

It's probably the easiest as naturally they can then be accessed in the code behind very easily.

you can use asp text boxes fine if you grab a reference in your javascript to their asp.net generated ID via <%= textboxname.ClientId %>

This is not the right way to do it (I wouldn't recommending it), but if its what you need, then it will work.

Add method="post" action="<your path here>" to your form element and when the submit button posts, you will be able to access all the form variables like so:

string txtName = Request["TextBox1"] ?? string.Empty; //replace textbox 1 with text box name

Just be sure to replace the action in form to your page etc..

But really, going back to <asp:TextBox... will save you a lot more time and as Ian suggested, you can access them with javascript by the server tags <%= TextBox1.ClientId %>

ps: also, the ?? is a null coalesce character. its a short form of saying

if(Request["textbox1"] != null)
    txtName = Request["textbox1"];
else
    txtName = "";

If I understand you correctly. You just need to add runat="server" and id="someName" to the html fields and access them in the code behind by its given id.
