ASP.NET CodeBehind C#: How to get cell values of HTML Table from codebehind?

Question

For example this is the table:

<table id="users">
<thead>
  <tr class="ui-widget-header ">
    <th>Name</th>
    <th>Email</th>
    <th>Password</th>
  </tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
  <tr>
    <td><input type="text" value="Name1"/></td>
    <td><input type="text" value="Email1"/></td>
    <td><input type="text" value="Password1"/></td>
  </tr>  <tr>
    <td><input type="text" value="Name2"/></td>
    <td><input type="text" value="Email2"/></td>
    <td><input type="text" value="Password2"/></td>
  <tr>
</tbody>
</table>

then I want the codebehind to get the values from the table.. please help.

Create table to run at server like this

<table id="users" runat="server">

and you will be able to access it using HtmlTable class. Have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.htmlcontrols.htmltable%28v=vs.80%29.aspx

You have to use the <asp:TextBox> tag instead of the <input> tags. This enables you to get the values from the text boxes in codebehind.
See the System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox documentation on MSDN.

UPDATE:
If you can't change the <input> tags to <asp:TextBox>, you could access the form values posted through Request.Form like this:

Request.Form[valueName]

Where value name is the name of the value posted.

So input text is not possible? Actually Im adding row dynamically using javascript and i cant put there asp tags.. quite similar to this jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#modal-form

If you want to access the values from codebehind you can't use <input>. The answer from @Ravindra provides another possibility, but still you can't add a row dynamically from javascript.

$("#users tbody").append("<tr>" + "<td><input type='text'class='customerIDCell'/></td>" + "<td><input type='text'class='customerIDCell'/></td>" + "<td><input type='text'class='customerIDCell'/></td>" + "</tr>"); This is how i create row and its working but i cant change that input to aspTextbox I keep using input

You could use Request.Form to access the values posted through the form. See msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/….
