I have been working in ASP.NET Web Applications (not MVC) for a while at work. I really would like to use the twitter bootstrap framwork. I think it looks great and has a lot of the work already taken care of for you. I cannot seem to get it to work with ASP server controls. I know that the css is probably trying to change the asp:Button tag to an HTML tag. I just have no idea how to get these to work together. I get the following error.
Warning 2 //file location : ASP.NET runtime error: The base class includes the field ‘btnTest’, but its type (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlButton) is not compatible with the type of control (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button). //File location 21 1 FalconFutbolClub
When rendering the site to debug, I get the following error:
Control ‘mainContentHolder_btnTest’ of type ‘Button’ must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server.
I think it would be really annoying to try to manage postbacks with javascript. I really would just like to use regular ASP server controls, hence the whole reason of using ASP.NET Web Applications. Please help.
EDIT: Code. Here is the master page and my default.

Looks like you answered this yourself! Just to follow up on it – normally just after the body tag of a masterpage you would have a form tag:
