I have below line in my aspx page -

 <input type="hidden" id="test" name="test" value="" runat="server"/>

now when I run this aspx page, it does not emit the "value" attribute as empty. below is snipet from page source of rendered aspx page -

<input name="ctl00$PlaceHolder$test" type="hidden" id="ctl00_PlaceHolder_test"/>

It should have been -

<input name="ctl00$PlaceHolder$test" type="hidden" id="ctl00_PlaceHolder_test" value=""/>

Please help in identifying why value="" is not appearing in page source.

Why is it important to transport unused elements? – Tim Schmelter Jun 02 '15 at 07:44
Its used for page tracking(Analytics) purpose, the tracker is checking for value element. – CHash11 Jun 02 '15 at 07:45
