<div>
Because the div is not a valid ASP.NET control Only valid controls are linked to the respective event handler by ASP.NET.<br />
If you are trying to execute this server event you need to generate a postback (_doPostBack and handle the post back call yourself in the server logic.

<div>
Can I have more details to such way? Thanks.
</div>


<div>
what are you trying to accomplish? <br />
why do you want to add a click event to the div tag? <br />
<br />
if you tell us this I would think that we can come up with a better solution to your problem.
</div>


<div>
I expect to trigger that event, once I've clicked any place within the div.
</div>


<div>
yes, but why? are you trying to use the div as a button? because you could just use an asp:button and then use css to style it. <br />
<br />
if you must use a div, what i would do is handle the click event on the client side in JavaScript and then make an ajax call or post the page from JavaScript.

<div>
I put your codes but I get this error<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41498578-1"><span>Error	5	The name 'clickMe' does not exist in the current context	C:\app\Start 150705\Start\Default.aspx.cs	130	62	Start</span>
</code></pre>

Miguel,<br />
Can you please take a look, if possible? Thanks to all.
</div>


<div>
UHmm. please post the following info:<br />
- VS/ASP.NET version.<br />
- Page markup (aspx) file. You may not need to do this call at all if there are other asp.net controls generating postback in the page.<br />
- Whether this page is master/child page.<br />
&nbsp;Post how the html is generated in browser. Want to check if the id is bein changed in the browser.
</div>


<div>
I am running this using VS 2013 on Win 2008 R2 server.<br />
This is not master/child page.<br />
HTML is not generated.
</div>


<div>
I am doing everything on Visual studio.
</div>


<div>
I am confused by HTML you mean the markup you add to the aspx page?<br />
Please post your aspx page contents as well. Keep in mind that aspx page is used to generate the hmtl.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
