Re: Which Control: Hyperlink or LinkButton?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello Bill,

I was referring to the HyperLink and LinkButton web server controls.

I'm building tabbed navigation for the first time. Setting the CssClass
property in the Click event of a LinkButton leaves the LinkButton active.
When I set the LinkButton Enabled property to false the Text property
remains displayed (desireable) but is greyed out (undesireable) and at the
moment I have yet to determine how I might work around this.
