why does HTML input button with runat="server" not cause postback?

[Chris]

Hi,

i 'm experimenting with postback and i tried that with a button server
control and an Html input button but with runat="server".

The button server control causes a postback, but not the Html input button
with runat="server".

Can someone explain me why (because it's running on the server)?
Thanks
Chris

runat="server" makes the control available for asp.net in the page life
style, that is between the http request arrival and rendering the resulting
html. It doesn't effect any client-side behavior. Button server control
initiates postbacks not because of runat="server". Rather it comes with some
built-in client-side code.

The Button control is rendered as an input with type="submit" in the
html code, that's why it's doing a postback.

The html input with type="button" doesn't do anything by itself. You
have to add some Javascript in the onclick event for it to actually do
anything at all.

only the html form controls <input type=submitor <input type=image>
postback. the <input type=buttonis for firing client events without a
postback.
