HtmlForm Control

The HtmlForm control allows Web developers to program against the HTML <form> element. All server controls, both HTML and custom, are required to be nested between well-formed opening and closing tags of the HtmlForm control.

By default, the HtmlForm control's METHOD attribute is set to POST, and its ACTION attribute is set to the URL of the source page. Developers can customize these attributes to suit their needs, but doing so can break the built-in state and postback services provided by the Web Forms Page Framework.

ASP+ Syntax

Required properties are noted in boldface type.

<form
   runat=server
   id="programmaticID"
   method=POST | GET
   action="srcpageURL"
>
Other controls, input forms, and so on.
</form>
