In Depth

In addition to the Web server controls we've been working with in the previous chapters, Visual Basic supports straight HTML controls, which are derived directly from HTML browser controls. These controls are less like standard Visual Basic controls, of course, and you have to know some HTML to work with them. (For example, HTML text field controls don't have a Text property as text boxes do in Visual Basic; they use a value attribute instead.) In this chapter, we'll be working with these HTML controls directly. They're less like the Web server controls that we're used to, and more like the HTML controls that you work with in script in Web pages. But you can work with these controls in Visual Basic as well.
