Not getting texts with Textedit when not visible

Hello,

I´ve created 2 textedit boxes in my application, which lye within a table (

). I´ve introduced right and down arrows for collapsing or expanding the content of the table, as the user wishes. When the table is expanded and the text boxes are visible, I get the texts in Do_Handle_Event with

textedit ?= cl_htmlb_manager=>get_data( request = request
                                         id = 'textBox1'
                                         name = 'textEdit' ).

When the table is collapsed, I get no text. The system doesn´t recognize the existance of the text boxes !!

CALL METHOD request->get_form_fields
      CHANGING
        fields = value_fields.

doesn´t help when collapsed.

Has any one an idea how to get the texts without having to expand the table ??

Thanks a lot
