Question

After trying to understand why client code is not rendered in a page (injected by user control) I found this link, it turns out you must have a form tag for it to work (Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock did declare this but ClientScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock which I use does not say anything regarding this).
I am using Visual studio 2005.
Does anyone know if this has been solved?

Edit:
To clarify, I want my control to add javascript code to the head section of the page without having to use the

<form runat='server' 

I have tried adding it using:

HtmlGenericControl x = new HtmlGenericControl('script'); x.InnerText = 'alert('123');'; Page.Header.Controls.Add(x); 

But this did not work for me.

Answer 1

Got it!
My mistake was not doing it in the OnPreRender method (I used the Render method).

Now all that is needed is – like Mitchel Sellers wrote, set the header to runat server and than add to it’s controls:

 HtmlGenericControl x = new HtmlGenericControl('script');  x.InnerText = GetScriptSection();  Page.Header.Controls.Add(x); 

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction!
