Call HTML control in code behind (ASP.net 2.0)

[tinique]

How can I call a HTML textbox in .aspx.vb code?? E.g. :
<input id="Frequency" type="text" style="width: 44px" />

Thanks!

The first thing you have to do is to add

runat=server,

however why not use instead of the input control the asp:textbox control?

Since asp:textbox do not function well for some scenerio, for example:
after checking the textbox value using javascript, it can't set focus
on the textbox. Therefore, I want the solution of HTML control not
"runat=server". Thanks!

Umm.... you can still put the runat="server" tag on an Html control,
doing this will not turn it into an asp:Textbox control. If you do not
use the runat tag, you can not modify it server side as it will not
exist. As far as not being able to use an ASP.NET control via
Javascript, I would say your javascript is wrong as all ASP.NET server
controls convert to standard Html controls.
