Question

I have to keep the formatting the exact same way that I got this static html page but have to add some code to it. Right now, I’m stuck with a regular html submit button and I need to figure out a way to switch it to an asp.net button without ruining the format.

So how do I convert:

<button type="submit"><span><span>Review</span></span></button>"

To a regular ASP.NET control while keeping the span tags? The button I was hoping had some innerhtml property but it doesn’t.

Answer 1

Simply place the following attributes in the button :

runat="server" id="btnSubmit" onserverclick="DoSomething"

and wire it up to the code-behind

protected void DoSomething(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Write("Hello world");
}

and it’s turned into a server control.
