Accessing input field from the JSP in dynpage

Question

HI all,
      I am trying to access the input field of the jsp page in my JSPDynpage but it is always return null.My Input is a normal HTML element not a HTMLB element
JSP File :
     <hbj:content id="myContext" >
  <hbj:page title="PageTitle">
  <hbj:form id="myFormId" >
     <div class="content">
        <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
                    <tr>
                           <td>
                              <label for="name"><strong>UserName:</strong></label><span id="info_name">(This field is required)</span><br />                           
                                 <input name="name" id="name" size="10" maxlength="10" type="text" />
                           </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                         <td>
                              <label for="email"><strong>EmailID:</strong></label><span id="info_email">(This field is required)</span><br />                           
                                 <input name="email" id="email" size="20" maxlength="20" type="text" /></td>
                    </tr>\
</Table>
JSPDynpage:
       InputField myInputField = (InputField) getComponentByName("name");
     if (myInputField != null) {
      name = myInputField.getValueAsDataType().toString();
               InputField myInputField1 = (InputField) getComponentByName("email");
     if (myInputField1 != null) {
      name = myInputField1.getValueAsDataType().toString();
In both the cases myInputField and myInputField1 are null . My Question is what should be the parameter that i need to pass for getComponentByName method.

hi,
The way you are trying to get the input field value works good with hbj type elements.
either you change your input field to an hbj one or use java script inside your jsp page to catch the value
like
for HTML:
[HTML Input Field|http://www.w3schools.com/HTMLDOM/met_doc_getelementbyid.asp]
and for HTMLB
refer this link:
