User Interface - Layouts cont..

Choosing the Right Control
You can use server controls or HTML controls on a Web form. What’s the difference? Basically, server controls are a superset of HTML controls and offer the following advantages:

Server events
Trigger control-specific events on the server.

State management
Data entered in a control is maintained across requests.

Adaptation
Automatically detect browser and adapt display as appropriate.

So, the html controls are the basic ones described in the W3C spec, while the server controls are defined in the ASP spec and use special tags?
