is onserverclick an event? I didn't think it was. However, you need to define a member for Submit. it will most likely look like this

Code:

public partial class Survey: Page
{
   public void Submit(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
   }
}

you are also mixing web server controls <asp:... runat="server" /> with html controls <input />, <select />. while you can do this I would pick one or the other for consistency.
