        }
    }
}

Then add the code to append your data also. You have the code to append data already in the scripts you provided (bad idea including a valid email though) and so, whats your actual question, you look like you posted your own answer

Forgot my email was in there.
Where it says postData.Append("&AMT=1.00");

I need that to post the info from my textbox so instead of $1.00 it needs to be "value from balancetextbox"

So, change it so it adds the text box contents.

Well thats my problem don't know the code to pass the textbox info

Do you know how to get the info out the text box?

Seems like i a having problems getting the data out cause the textbox is inside a datalist

Too much code is missing to comment

For example if I write this in my code behind page aspx.cs

postData.Append("&AMT=BalanceTextBox") ;

When asp processes the code I get the actual text Balancetextbox, I need to get the value that is in balancetextbox.

I guess you havent understood what "" marks do and how to use any of the components..

If your textbox is called "BalanceTextBox" you get text out of it with BalanceTextBox.Text

You add that to the end of your string.. with a + mark.. and remove the rubbish you wrote in the value section

Got it thanks I used

<asp:TextBox ID="BalanceTextBox" runat="server" Columns="20" Rows="4"
Text='<% #Bind("balance")%>' ValidationGroup="add"></asp:TextBox>

then on the behind page

TextBox Balance = (TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("BalanceTextBox");
string myBalance = Balance.Text; // or you can convert it to int or whatever you need.

postData.Append("&AMT=" + myBalance);
