ok thanks
sorry for asking such basics
but due to ll the things & confusion & mess & for speaking up against the higher levels i am asking so as to be very clear and clear the confusion
in short my above array which i am specifically asked to use on client side for storing data wont work
so the only option left is on each postback store the value on server
if its a full postback , but does same apply to partial postback
i am litel be cleared now , but a long way to go
