Steve: for the moment, the Atlas textbox is just a way to emit the client-side textbox and auto-complete behavior, but it lacks many features of the ASP.NET textbox. It currently doesn't do anything in the case of a postback. You can get the value by using the good old Request.Form.

How would you retrieve the value selected for a server-side call?

ie. User selects from the autocomplete list.

I add a button. You click the .net button and say: Label1.Text = searchBox.Text;

I get no value from searchBox.Text to display in the Label

I figured out my problem, I had left out the form tags (I was using a content page)

I tried the update and nothing happened on the page?

@Wilco: yes, of course. I was only trying to do it in the HTML code and to see what they have done and how it is working.

Additionally, you could also use the server-side controls to take care of emitting The Right Stuff for you. Both the ScriptManager and TextBox controls should let you achieve the exact same result, just with less code and intellisense :).
