Find An HTML Control

How do you find an HTML control that is placed on an HTML page? I presume
that you have to add the runat="server" to the HTML element..but then how do
you find that element?

If you add runat="server" then you can access it using its Id:

Default.aspx:

Hello!

Default.aspx.vb:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
tblMyTable.Border = 1
End Sub

Give it an ID="MyControl".

Then you can "find" it by using the FindControl() method. Or, just access it
directly:

MyControl.Style = "color: red;"

As an alternative to the fine suggestions already given to you, a basic
recursion routine can sometimes be useful for finding controls of interest
on the current form. Here's more info:
