To be able to get the value in the PostBack from the ASP.Net TextBox control that assigned by an external javascript function, you have to store the same value also in a HiddenField Control.

Then in the PostBack Event you can get the value of the HiddenField Control But not the TextBox Control, because the TextBox Control value will be reseted.

Here is an Example:

We passed the controls ClientIDs as querystring to the popup window, then from the popup window we have the following javascript to assign the values to the controls in the opener aspx page :

JavaScript

window.opener.document.getElementById('<%=Request["lat_ctr_id"]%>').value = marker.getPoint().lat();

 window.opener.document.getElementById('<%=Request["ctr_hdn_lat_id"]%>').value = marker.getPoint().lat();

Now from my cs file, i have a search button with click event (this will do postback)

protected void btn_search_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       //this will not work.. the "lat" querystring will be empty
       //Response.Redirect("search_results.aspx?lat=" + txt_lat.Text  ) ;

       //this will work.
       Response.Redirect("search_results.aspx?lat=" + hdn_lat.Value);


   }
