If you're having a page that does not have a master page why would you think there'd be anything from a master page rendered to HTML.
Please explain!

Hi

As an example..

I am having a button in master page..

<div> <asp:Button ID="Button25" runat="server" Text="Master Button" /></div>

Now in the content page I am having a script and a button

XML
<asp:Content ID="BodyContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent">
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
        function showMasterPageControlID(ctrlId){
            alert(document.getElementById(ctrlId).id);
        }
    </script>
    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
</asp:Content>


Now I assign the script to the button click event from the code behind as follows

C#
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "showMasterPageControlID('" + this.Master.FindControl("Button25").ClientID + "')");
}


This works..

But if you want to access the master control at page_load event then you may need to inject the script as follows..

C#
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {

     ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Script1", "<script type='text/javascript'>document.getElementById('" + this.Master.FindControl("Button25").ClientID + "').value='Master Button Modified';</script>");
     //Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "showMasterPageControlID('" + this.Master.FindControl("Button25").ClientID + "')");
 }


For setting multiple controls in that way use a string builder to create your script text and get the text from stringbuilder's toString method.

Use the ClientID property instead of using the way you identify the controls. Because that id change easily when the html tree hierarchy alters.

Hope this helps

oh sorry. I haven't noticed page without master page. Ignore my answer. it is for Page with master page.
VB
by using the following code can access the controls in masterpage from popup window
window.opener.document.getElementById('ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_txtWSalerate').value=mytool_array[5];

This Code is Master page


And this code is Content Page
<asp:TextBox ID="TextDate" runat="server" ReadOnly = "true">



But TextDate is not finding
