title: Getting data from an Input control in to code behind
body: <p>I am using asp.net C#
  I am also using the jQuery UI Calendar control. 
  <a href="http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/" rel="nofollow">calendar control</a></p>
  
  <p>It appears the calendar control wants to work with an input control with an ID of "datepicker".</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="text" id="datepicker"  /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to use value of the input control in my code behind but seeing how it is not an asp.net control I am not sure how I can reference it in the code behind.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to get the value of the input control in the code behind?</p>
