Question on HTML and Web(Server Side) Controls

Ralph Krausse

I know more html is needed to really produce this but enough is here
for me to ask my question. So, this HTML code produce 2 buttons. One
button is a HTML control and the other is ASP Web or Server Control.
Why are there 2 ways to create buttons if they so the same thing? Do
they do the same thing? In what senario would I use a HTML button
rather than a Web control button. Does it matter? If not why 2
different controls that do the same thing.

<HTML>

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">

<INPUT style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 104px; POSITION: absolute; TOP:
40px" type="button" value="Button1" id="Button2" name="Button2"
runat="server">

<asp:Button id="Button1" style="Z-INDEX: 102; LEFT: 104px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 88px" runat="server" Text="Button2"> </asp:Button>
</form>

</HTML>
Thanks

1. <input type="button" value="Submit">
2. <input type="button" value="Submit" runat="server">

Item 1 is a Html Control (similar to the one used in ASP and traditional
HTML programming). Item 2 is a Html Server Control which has the additional
runat="server" in the syntax. The difference between the two is that Item 2
remembers the state information and is accessible programmaticall y in the
code-behind files. The state information is not relevant in this case of a
button but will be useful if it were an dropdown list or textbox.

Another kind of control available in .NET is the Web Server Control which
also has the runat="server" in its syntax. The difference between a web
server control and an html control is that web server controls are more smart
where they can render html based on the type of browsers and they also
support event bubbling (if you have controls nested in the container control,
say, an button in the datagrid, then events occurring in the button can
bubble up to the datagrid)

Hope this helps

cohabiting html\server-side controls

I want to be able to disable\enable controls on the client via client-side scripting. I'm trying to avoid a postback. I'd like to use HTML and server-side controls on the same page. In code-behind of "submit button" how do I get the value of the HTML Controls? How do you provide a "rich" experience without roundtrips? Can you? What is the prefered way to architect these pages? Any pointers to whitepapers/docs would be apprecieated?
