Question

I am creating an application using ASP.Net, in which I have a HTML button on an aspx page.

<input type="submit" id="btnSubmit" runat="server" 
   style="background-image:url(App_Themes/default/Images/quiz_class/btn_submit.jpg);
   width:80px; height:29px;" onserverclick="btnSubmit_ServerClick" />

But when I click on the button then it not calling the btnSubmit_ServerClick event on the aspx.cs page.

I don't want to use asp control button.

Please help..

If you are OK with converting the input button to a server side control by specifying runat="server", and you are using asp.net, an option could be using the HtmlButton.OnServerClick property.

<input id="foo "runat="server" type="button" onserverclick="foo_OnClick" />

This should work and call foo_OnClick in your server side code. Also notice that based on Microsoft documentation linked above, you should also be able to use the HTML 4.0 tag.
