In Depth

In this chapter, we're going to take a look at quite a number of Web server controls: image controls, image buttons, list boxes, drop-down lists, hyperlinks, and link buttons. Some of these controls are similar to each other; in fact, they're sometimes supported by variations of the same HTML element. For example, hyperlinks and link buttons are both supported with the <a> element, and list boxes and drop-down lists are both supported by the <select> element. I'll look at these controls in more depth now.
