HTML Server Controls

The following example declares two HtmlAnchor server controls, which allow programmatic access to the HTML <a> tag on the server. For example, 
   <a id="link1" runat="server">
The executable code itself has been moved outside the HTML and put in the section 
   <script runat="server">
The Page_Load event is triggered when a page loads. It manipulates the following attributes of the HtmlAnchor:
