You need to use the HtmlGenericControl. The code below is a code-behind version
of an example near the bottom of this page:

Does this help?

Is there a way to change the background color of a web
form on the server before it is posted? In the pageLoad
event I can do it to server controls by adding an
attribute, however, how do I do the same for the page's
background color?
Should be simple I think?
