ASP.NET HtmlAnchor Control


HTML Control Reference Complete HTML Control Reference

Definition and Usage

The HtmlAnchor control is used to control an <a> element. In HTML, the <a> element is used to create a hyperlink. The hyperlink may link to a bookmark or to another Web page.


Properties

Property Description
Attributes Returns all attribute name and value pairs of the element
Disabled A Boolean value that indicates whether or not the control should be disabled. Default is false
HRef The URL target of the link
id A unique id for the control
InnerHtml Sets or returns the content between the opening and closing tags of the HTML element. Special characters are not automatically converted to HTML entities
InnerText Sets or returns all text between the opening and closing tags of the HTML element. Special characters are automatically converted to HTML entities
Name The name of the anchor
OnServerClick The name of the function to be executed when the link is clicked
runat Specifies that the control is a server control.  Must be set to "server"
Style Sets or returns the CSS properties that are applied to the control
TagName Returns the element tag name
Target The target window to open
Title A title to be displayed by the browser (like the alt attribute of the img element)
Visible A Boolean value that indicates whether or not the control should be visible

Examples

HTMLAnchor
In this example we declare two HtmlAnchor controls in an .aspx file (remember to embed the control inside an HtmlForm control). Then we modify the URL, target, and title of the HtmlAnchor controls in an event handler (an event handler is a subroutine that executes code for a given event). The Page_Load event is one of many events that ASP .NET understands.
