End Namespace

Remarks

The RenderAttributes method writes the onclick attribute of the rendered HtmlButton control, and then calls the base HtmlControl.RenderAttributes method.

The RenderAttributes method is used primarily by control developers extending the functionality of the HtmlButton control.
