HtmlAnchor postback

[Guest]

Hi,

I am trying to implement a postback from a control with a textbox and anchor
to perform a search. I cannot use link button due to javascript being turned
off. Is there a way of implementing postback from an anchor tag?

attach the javacript to the href tag
href="javascript:fndosome();"
or in server side also
ctl.attributes.Add("href","javascript:fndosome();")

but javascript is turned off how would that work please?

if javascript is disabled, the only html control that will postback is a
submit or image button. (asp:button). anchors will on perform a get, and not
postback data.

do a formname.submit
...
also does it mean no client side script works like vbscript, jscript etc
just a thought

Anchor Tag Postback

You can add runat="server" in the anchor tag to post back.
Eg:

<a href="home.html" runat="server">Click Me</a>

This makes the anchor tag to post back
