title: How do I get the entered value of activeTextField in Yii?
body: <p>the code below works without creating a submit button but I want to assign 'id' with newly entered value in the textfield.  How do I get it?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php echo CHtml::activeTextField($model,'id',array(
      'submit' =&gt; array('item/view'),
      'id' =&gt; 1, // this one works when you press enter at the textField; however, I
                 // want to assign here the current value of textfield
  )); ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>TIA</p>
  
  <p>What I am trying to achieve here is a record/model navigator like record navigation control in M$ Access with firstRecord, prevRecord, nextRecord, lastRecord links. I have implemented those four links easily.  The current record element, the code above should display the current record id but it should also enable the user to change its value so that it will navigate to Model 'id' of choice. </p>
