How can I make runat=server unnecessary

[SlashDrew]

I have created a custom control that has some design time support. I
can create a menubar with the following HTML

<Menu:BarMenu runat="server" id="MenuBar">
<MainMenuItems>
<Menu:BarMenuItem Text="New Member" id="btnNewMember"
onclick="btnNewMember_Click" MenuTip="Click to Add a new Member" />
<Menu:BarMenuItem Text="Edit Profile" id="btnEditProfile" disabled
onclick="btnEditProfile_Click" MenuTip="Click to Edit the selected
Member's Profile" />
<Menu:BarMenuItem Text="Edit Permissions" id="btnEditPermissions"
disabled onclick="btnEditPermissions_Click" MenuTip="Click to
Approve/Revoke member permissions" />
<Menu:BarMenuItem Text="Delete Member" id="btnDeleteMember" disabled
confirm="Are you sure you want to permanently delete the selected
Member?" onclick="btnDeleteMember_Click" MenuTip="Click to permanently
Remove the Selected Member" />
</MainMenuItems>
</Menu:BarMenu>

When I build, I get parser errors saying that the runat='server'
attribute is missing from all the inner elements (i.e.,
<MainMenuItems>). Is there a way around this?

No , this attribute must appear.

If you want to run your code server-side, the runat tag is indispensable.
If you don't want your code to run server-side it isn't indispensable.

No.

Seems mighty strange considering the datagrid has nested elements that
don't require runat='server'. I'm not questioning the attribute on the
top level element (<Menu:BarMenu>), just on the nested elements
(<MainMenuItems>, etc.). There's got to be a way to not require this
in 2.0 like it wasn't in 1.1. I will find it. And then I will tell
the world. And then, you will all bow to me!!! Mwahahahah.

Either that...or you'll come back with your tail between your legs.
Mwahahahah.

;-)

I definitely want to know whether you were successful or not.
Please post back the results.
