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

Question

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 Radio Button won't stay check if I have a modal window open up when it is selected
<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
EDIT:
I'm still trying to attempt this. I setup up dummy text boxes which I will hide later on if I can pass to them. I'm still very lost with this...
<asp:TextBox ID="dummyUnixName" runat="server" />
<asp:TextBox ID="dummyUnixPass" runat="server" />

If you aren't performing a postback or an AJAX call, nothing will be passed to the code behind.
During debugging, Console.WriteLine can be redirected to the output window in VS; in production, it's going to go nowhere. A logging solution is often appropriate for a web application which needs to know more of what happened than which page was requested by a user (IIS logs).
