Thanks
I'd prefer to use the ctrl-f2 method, but for some reason, that list doesn't
show my button. Really annoying. The convoluted moving to the design window and
going into properties there does work, though.

Hi: You are right. The Properties Window when brought up from the html editor
does not have the events button. You can get at it in several other ways.
First, you can just bring up the Forms Designer, tab to any control or right
mouse click any control on the form or even just the form itself. Then the
Properties window will come up and this version has the events button. Now,
when it comes up you tab to the DropDown box that lists all the objects
associated with your page. Then you cursor down the list until you see your
button and hit enter on it to select it. Tab back to the list of properties for
the button and verify it is now selected. Tab back to the tool bar and right
cursor to the events button and hit it then select one of the events like the
click event by hitting enter on it. You will be placed in the code editor
subroutine for that event. Another method would be to follow one of the prior
posts about putting your cursor on the opening html tag i think <asp:... for
the control or even highlighting the first few characters then hitting f7 until
you get to the forms designer. Then either hit f4 or under the view menu select
properties. That might automatically select the button and have it selected
when you open the forms designer to get to the properties window. Another way
is to hit the ctrl+f2 key combo from within the code editor for the page, I
think it works from in the html editor as well, then 2 dropdown boxes will come
up. The first box has a list of all objects associated with the page and you
cursor to the button. Then tab to the next combo box, cursor to the event for
the button and hit enter on it. The subroutine stub for the click event, or
whatever you select, will be added to the code for the page. If anyone has
another method post it up but I usually use these methods. There is one more
but I forget off hand and these are the simplest and quickest I know of.

Well, I'm making some progress. I've done as some of you have suggested and
am working in the html editor, not messing with the forms designer at all.
HOwever, now I've discovered another problem.
I've added a button to a page, and the button shows up when I run the
program. I even get a navigation sound when I press enter on the button.
However, I see no way to select an event to code for it. Placing my cursor on
the tag and pressing f4 brings me into the property window, but the events tab
is not active or invisible. Pressing f2 gives me a list of objects like form1,
window, client script, etc. But none of my controls are in the list, including
my button which is called btnAdd. Any hints?
