title: How to access TextArea from code-behind from a MasterPage
body: <p>I have a TextArea in my Content page:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;textarea id="taskNotes" runat="server" class="taskNotes"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also a Label in my Content page:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:Label runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" ID="lblStartDate" Text="TEST"&gt;&lt;/asp:Label&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my MasterPage I can access the label like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>lblStartDate = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label)ContentMain.FindControl("lblStartDate");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I access the TextArea the same way I am accessing the Label?</p>
