    Hi,
    I set a textbox value from another textbox by jquery like this:
    $('input[id="Name"]').live('change keyup', function () {
       var urlSegment = $('input[id="UrlSegment"]');
       urlSegment.val("Test");
    });
    I can see the value "Test" in the second textbox but when clicking on save, the posted value is empty.
    I think the problem lies along with ajax cause when changing to server binding the value is posted.

    The form is generated in a popup by the grid.

    How do I solve this?

    Regards,
    Mattias

    Hi Todd,
    It seems to work by adding .change() to the textbox.
    $('input[id="Name"]').live('change keyup', function () {
       var urlSegment = $('input[id="UrlSegment"]');
       urlSegment.val("Test");
       urlSegment.change();
    });

    /Mattias

    Thank you so much!  I found this after hours of beating my head against the keyboard and it worked perfectly.

    Hello,

    When the jQuery val() method is used, the value of the input is visually changed. However, in order to have the same value applied in the model, you would have to manually trigger the change method so it would be indicated that the respective model's property has to be updated with the value of the input. Therefore, the provided suggestion above should be utilized:

    $('input[id="Name"]').live('change keyup', function () {
   var urlSegment = $('input[id="UrlSegment"]');
   urlSegment.val("Test");
   urlSegment.change();
});
