HTML server controls are nothing more than regular HTML controls that run on the server. They always have the property runat="server" set on them. Web Server controls provide a richer functionality as well as following the XML syntax.
Tables 23-10 through 23-13 show the HTML server controls, Web server controls, common control properties, and the events that are common to every control.
