Issues with asp:LinkButton

Question

User-1924877455 posted
Hello I have to display a Link consisting of text and an image. For that purpose, I have created a Linkbutton control and placed an Image control inside it. I want to know, if its a correct method, since I am facing some issues with it. I have two such Linkbuttons placed side by side, however upon postback one of them becomes invisible, basically its HTML is not rendered correctly after postback. Is it because a LinkButton control cannot act as a container for other control ?

 I think with the linkbutton control, the space in between the tag is for text.

I use a ImageButton Control, with a Hyperlink next to it.

Then what is the Text property for, in LinkButton ?

I said I think, Not I know for sure If you populate the text property, it places text in between the tags.

So I tested the idea, and in the browser source, the link button produces an <a> tag.  When you place an image inside it, you get <a><img /></a>

Hi Madhur

If you want to use serverside Events based on Postbacks, use ImageButton or LinkButton.
If not, use a HyperLink with filled ImageUrl property.
