Well your adding client-side HTML controls via JavaScript - ASP.NET will not see those (they're not runat=server, this needs to be render-time, not after the page has loaded).

What you can do is add "name" attributes to all your elements (which you've done), then when you submit the form (with the Button click), you can check the form elements via the Request.Form collection.

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   var inputValue = Request.Form["someId"];
}

You might also need to set AutoPostBack="true" on the button, so it submits the form when you click the button.
