<div>
I'm adding the control at design time.<br />
<br />
Having looked at your example b1xml2 I realise my mistake, I forgot to put the runat=server property in my tag. &nbsp;It's finding it now.<br />

I have an HTML button on my page opposed to an ASP.Net server control as I don't want the form to be posted back when I click on it. &nbsp;In the form load event I want to add a bit of javascript using the attributes collection e.g.<br />
<br />
myButton.attributes.add(&quot;O<wbr />nClick&quot;,my<wbr />Script)<br />
<br />
I'm trying to get a reference to the HTML button control using the FindControl method but this can't seem to find the button on my page e.g.<br />
<br />
myButton = ctype(me.controls.findcont<wbr />rol(&quot;btnPr<wbr />int&quot;),Html<wbr />Button))<br />
<br />
I'v tried doing...<br />
<br />
myButton = ctype(me.controls(&quot;Form1&quot;)<wbr />.controls.<wbr />findcontro<wbr />l(&quot;btnPrin<wbr />t&quot;),HtmlBu<wbr />tton))<br />
<br />
but that doesn't work either, they both return Nothing<br />
<br />
So how do I get a reference to an HTML control?

I can't find an HTML Button with the Controls.FindControl method!

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications
