Access from where? From your embedded code? From code-behind? From javascript?

HTML Control without runat="server" means, it can be accessed only in client side. So, you cannot access a html control in code behind(server) if you don't use runat="server"

One work around could be trying with cookies. Using JS, add the value in cookies and in code behind access the cookie.

Solution 2

you can use Page the below code

String grp = Request.Form["txtGroupName"].ToString();

in HTML for input tag, you have name tag. That name is used in above code (txtGroupName)

HTML

<p style="border-bottom: solid 1px; padding: 6px" name="p1">
   <span>
       <input id="chkAllSchools" name="chkAllSchools"  onclick="ResetCheckboxes();" type="checkbox" />
       <b>Select All Schools</b>
   </span>
</p>

To Acces "allSchools" checkbox (don't forget to set name attribute)

1. For method="get" of form, use C# statement

C#

var result = Request.QueryString["chkAllSchools"];

2. For method="post" of form, use C# statement

C#

var result = Request.Form["chkAllSchools"];

If checkbox is checked C# will give you string "on" (or value attribute if set for checkbox in our case not set), and if checkbox is not checked on form you'll get null in result.
