My modal window is not transferring values to vb.net codebehind
===

I am getting the username and password to run some scripts

      <act:ModalPopupExtender ID="unixLoginMPE" runat="server" TargetControlID="rdoUnix"
            PopupControlID="unixPanel" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" CancelControlID="unixCancel" OkControlID="unixSubmit"
              />
        <asp:Panel ID="unixPanel" runat="server" 
            CssClass="modalPopup" align="center" Style="display: none">Unix Username: <asp:TextBox ID="unixName" ClientIDMode="Static" runat="server"  />
            <br />
            Unix Password: <asp:TextBox ID="unixPass" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" TextMode="Password"  />
            <br />
            <asp:Button ID="unixCancel" runat="server" Text="Cancel" />
            <asp:Button ID="unixSubmit" ClientIDMode="Static" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClientClick="enableRDO()"  />
        </asp:Panel>

In my codebehind, I'm doing something like this just to test if the values have passed.

    Dim UNIXPASSWORD As String = unixPass.text
                    Dim UNIXUSERNAME As String = unixName.Text
                    MsgBox(UNIXCOMPUTERNAME)
                    MsgBox(UNIXUSERNAME)
                    MsgBox(UNIXPASSWORD)

I do reference a script to enable the radio button. I asked a question to help me with that issue, it is all resolved ([http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11562598/radio-button-wont-stay-check-if-i-have-a-modal-window-open-up-when-it-is-select/11562667#comment15299073_11562667][1])

      <script type="text/javascript">
            function enableRDO() {
                var cancel = document.getElementById('rdoUnix');
                cancel.setAttribute('checked', 'true');
            };
        </script>

For some reason the values are passing just fine in Google Chrome but not in IE. I've been at this for a few hours and don't know what else to try...or search for
