    $(document).ready(function() 
    {
      $("#obj_edit_editBox").focus(function()
      {
          if (txtDescription == bodyDefault)
          {
        //Do something here
          }

If your ASP variable txtDescription is empty or null, then nothing would be ouput in the response.write and var txtDescription = '' would be written to the page. — Rory McCrossan

Siva: In your case I think that you need to create an input field named Description and set the values in it. Then you need to submit (using a FORM POST) the values to the server. I think that you are no understanding how web development works. — Eduardo Molteni

The ASP variables are vanishes as soon as the server ends generating the page and send it to the client. There (in the client) you can play with javascript and then post back to the server (via POST or GET) to process the info.
