Create a HTML control. Just add the runat="server" attribute and
reference the control by its id attribute, like any server control.

Example:

ASPX

<input id="cancelButton" type="button" value="Cancel"
name="cancelButton" runat="server">

Code-behind class

protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputButton cancelButton;

that doesn't work because it now breaks my clientside javascript.

OK, have the control as it is, and do the javascript on the server
side... unless it is not an confirm()....

Your comments aren't really helpful. What is the problem?
