asp.net webform

I am developing a asp.net website using visual basic 2008 I am using html not server controls to navigate from one webform to another. I want to somehow capture the event clicking of the html link so I can determine what webform is opening so that I can save the appropiate session variables. The problem is using html links to navigate I have no idea how to accomplish that. So any help on trying to figure this out would greatly be appreciated

What if my html looks like the following

<li><a href="ContactUs.aspx" runat="server">Contact Us</a></li>

I have a space between Contact and Us it is not working plus I get the following error

"Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types."
Never mind about my second post your suggestion worked great! Thanks for the help.

The problem is you dont have an Id for your <a> tag.
It should be
<li><a id="contactUs" href="ContactUs.aspx" runat="server">Contact Us</a></li>
and
Protected Sub link_click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles contactUs.ServerClick
