I have the following in my aspx.

<html>
    <body>
        <input id="but" type="button" value="ClickMe" />
    </body>
</html>

Code behind

//Pageload
but.Attributes.Add("onclick", "this.parentNode.innerHTML += '<a id=""link"" href=""mylink""></a>';document.getElementById(""link"").click();");

Rendered html

<input name="ctl00$Content$btn" type="button" id="ctl00_Content_btn" value="ClickMe" 
onclick="this.parentNode.innerHTML += '&lt;a id=&quot;link&quot; href=&quot;mylink&quot;>&lt;/a>';document.getElementById(&quot;link&quot;).click();" />

How can I get the < > " characters to render properly?

    You cannot render these characters without encoding.

    From MSDN

    You cannot add client-side script to a WebControl instance using the
    Attributes collection. To add client-side script, use the ClientScript
    property on the Page control.

    If you insist, just render your own control.
