InnerHTML and change of values

///

/// I have created a table with two fields (name and country)
/// then created two labels and two text boxes
/// I cliked on a button and my question is why c2.InnerHtml does not capture the value inside the txtCountry
///

protected void btn_click_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lblName.Text = txtName.Text;
lblCountry.Text = txtCountry.Text;
// a way to clear table content in html
n1.InnerHtml = txtName.Text = String.Empty;
c1.InnerHtml = txtCountry.Text = String.Empty;
// a way to change table content in html
n2.InnerHtml = "ahmed"; // this works fine by inserting the word inside the ""
c2.InnerHtml = txtCountry.Text; // this did not insert the word from the text box ??
}

Thanks for your help

It is doing exactly what you have told it to.

n1.InnerHtml = txtName.Text = String.Empty; //the result of this is an empty string, even if txtName.Text had something in it you emptied it before assigning to n1.
