Unable to get text value from user prompt
I hope someone can help point me in the right direction. I'm a newbie and have inherited a legacy application and no other employees can help me with this one.
I have an asp.net application that has a Copy button. When the copy button is pressed, a screen pops-up and users can enter a value to indicate what they want to copy to. However, the copy does not work. I can not seem to get the text that the user enters to be picked up in the code so the copy can work.
Why am I unable to get the code to pick up the text that is entered by the user? I have attached the files and a screenshot showing the copy button feature.
I'd appreciate any guidance/help on this. As mentioned, I'm a newbie when it comes to this.
Thanks.

Lan Huangit's difficult to pinpoint the exact issue without looking at the entire code. However, here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
Check if the text entered by the user is being captured correctly in the code. You can do this by placing a breakpoint in the code where the text should be captured and checking the value of the variable that stores the user input.
Ensure that the input field has the correct name attribute. The name attribute is what allows the server-side code to access the value of the input field.
Check if there are any JavaScript errors on the page that might be preventing the input value from being sent to the server. You can do this by opening the browser console and looking for any error messages.
Check if there are any server-side validation errors that might be preventing the copy operation from working. You can do this by checking the server logs or adding debug statements in the code to see where the process is failing.
