  Resource File, HTML Controls and .NET Controls

  Nov 03, 2011 02:26 AM|LINK

  Hello. Given the following aspx page named Test1.aspx:

  <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="ASP Button" meta:resourcekey="Button1Resource1" />

  <input id="Button2" type="button" value="HTML Button" runat="server" meta:resourcekey="Button2Resource2" />

  ... and a resource file named Test1.aspx.resx which contains the following Name and Value pairs:

  Button1Resource1.Text - ASP Button

  Button1Resource1.ToolTip - ASP Button ToolTip

  Button2Resource2.Text - HTML Button

  Button2Resource2.ToolTip - HTML Button ToolTip

  PageResource1.Title - Test Page

  Why will the HTML Controls not display the tooltip text when the page is compiled and run?

  Thank You!

  Hey there

  if you are using html controls then you need to add runat="server" to controls if you want to use resource file's key on html control

  hope it works for you

  Thank you for the suggestion; but as line 3 indicates in my original post I do have the runat=server attribute set.
