The HtmlInputText control allows developers to run server code against the HTML <input type=text>
and <input type=password>
elements. As with standard HTML, these controls can be used to enter user names and passwords into HTML forms.
Developers can use this control in conjunction with the HtmlInputButton, HtmlInputImage, or HtmlButton control to process user input on the server. Developers can retrieve or assign values the HtmlInputText MaxLength, Size, and Value properties.
Note This control does not require a closing tag.
