Can't use attributes.add for checkbox?

[Paul W]

Hi -

Why does this code:

Dim mychk As New CheckBox
mychk.Attributes.Add("Resid", "R" & 123213)
mychk.ID = "chk3"

render as this:

<span Resid="R123213"><input id="chk3" type="checkbox" name="chk3" /></span>

instead of this:

<input Resid="R123213" id="chk3" type="checkbox" name="chk3" />

If I use a textbox, instead of a checkbox then I get a version of the second
html, as desired.

Thanks, Paul.

I presume that the MS team is doing this to allow for checkbox lists!

Thanks - using the "Onclick" works ok, but using "name" still creates a
<Span>. Guess I'll have to find an obsure 'real' attribute to use - any
suggestions?

That interfering span in creating new CheckBox

Dear Paul,

I don't know if you are still out there. I followed your thread as I am experiening the same, yet I have not had your same success. Under my requirement it is imperative that I provide dynamic generation of rows with a checkbox at each. Yet in the generation the checkbox is always preceded by a span which interferes with checkbox change events. The checkbox (or any other toggling device, eg, one image then another) will be used as a device to add to a cart of sorts.

If you or anyone else could assist me with this matter I would be very grateful.

There is a special property called InputAttributes that accesses the attributes of the underlying <input> tag.
So if you wanna add an non-standard attribute to a radiobutton or a checkbox, you should do

myChk.InputAttributes.Add("MyAttrivute", SomeValue)
