runatserver

Some texts on ASP.NET MVC state that "there are no runat server tags", even this MSDN article says this, when, right above that statement there is a code example with a runat server tag in the HEAD element: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc337884.aspx And on StackOverflow conversations I read "The fact that you want to use "runat=server" controls means that you should be doing a traditional ASP.NET app. And of course in the Site.Master page there are runat server attributes in the ContentPlaceHolders. The only thing I see absent from ASP.NET MVC in terms of runat server is the

I couldn't find much documentation on the web so far now, the obvious difference seems to be that you cant mix html and vbscript using the "script" tag for example, this is ok <% public sub display_literal() %> literal &lt% end sub %> but with the script tag you should <script language="vbscript" runat="server"> public sub display_literal2() response.write "literal2</br>" end sub </script> on this page http://www.newobjects.com/pages/ndl/alp/asp-structure.htm it says that In classic ASP the script written in the default script language for the page (i.e. the language assumed for the <% %> tags

I'm trying make some stuff in jQuery using ASP.NET. But the ID from runat="server" is not the same as the id used in HTML. I used to use this to get the ID from this situation: $("#<%=txtTest.ClientID%>").val(); But in this case, it does not work. I'm clueless as to why. Javascript /* Modal */ function contatoModal() { //alert("Test"); alert($("#<%=txtTest.ClientID%>").val()); } HTML < input runat="server" id="txtTest" value="test" /> Any tips? <%= txtTest.ClientID %> should work but not in a separate javascript file where server side scripts do not execute. Another possibility is to use a

I'm trying to add a script reference to jQuery in my master page so that it will work for any page. It currently looks like this <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script> The problem is that the path is always relative to the executing aspx page so this will only work if the "jquery.js" file is located in the same folder. To make it work I have to change the line to: <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jquery.js"></script> This is obviously less than ideal because it will only work for pages that are two levels deep from the root folder. If I try the following, IIS throws

Why do I have to specify runat="server" on all my ASP.NET controls when it is a mandatory attribute and server is the only option available in my limited knowledge of ASP.NET, and I get an error if I don't use it? I do understand that I can optionally use it on my HTML tags, and I do understand the client/server paradigm and what it is actually specifying. Is it a redundant tag that could just be implied by the control being an ASP.NET control, or is there an underlying reason? I've always believed it was there more for the understanding that you can mix ASP.NET tags and HTML Tags, and HTML
