title: Can't get text with text box when it is readonly?
body: <p>I have a text box </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:textbox runat="server" id="checkIn" ClientIDMode="Static" ReadOnly="true"&gt;
  &lt;/asp:textbox&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The text in the text box is inputted through a Jquery DatePicker. In some code behind I am getting the text from this text box like so.</p>
  
  <pre><code>string x=checkIn.Text;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why can I not pull the inputted date from the text box? I am guessing it is to do with the fact that it is readonly as when I remove this it works?</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me?</p>
