Button probs calling method!

[KenniM]

Okidoki! here goes...

I have a form with two input controls and a submit button! When I click my submit button I want the aspx to PostBack and use a codebehind class method called "UpdateTasklist()".

This is not a problem if I use the <asp:button...> but I have my own (way cooler) button wich is of this format <a...><img.../></a>.

How is it possible to use my method this way? Or am I just getting of on the wrong foot here!

thanx!

Someone? ... anyone!

Any <asp: clickable control will post the form back to itselve. You can use <asp:imagebutton.
You can use the runat=&quot;server&quot; on the html element that you want to trigger the server side click event.

Tanx buddy!

<asp:imagebutton> works for me! I also tried adding a runat=&quot;server&quot; to my original button. But i can't get it to post back! Not at the moment anyway!

The reason why I'm interested in using my old-style button is because I have a feeling that its cleaner than using the asp:Imagebutton.

Any opinions on this subject?

Cheers

You are correct:
<img runat-&quot;server&quot;
does not have a server click event

You can use:
<INPUT type=image runat=&quot;server&quot; id=&quot;myImage&quot;


and in the code behind:
' in the class varialbles:
Protected WithEvents myImage As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputImage

' the sub that handles the click event:
Private Sub myImage_click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles Image1.ServerClick
' some image click code here.
End Sub
