System information

Hi

Please add a Text/Value property to value-returning webcontrols (eg. WebTextBox, WebLabel, WebComboBox, WebHtml) which can be used inside external javascript.

For example to obtain value into existing WebTextBox from a javascript I have to use 
"$(" & JS(WebTextBox1.Name & ":entry") & ").value = result.code;"
where ["$(" & JS(WebTextBox1.Name & ":entry") & ").value] is the Text property of WebTextBox I have to use in javascript.
