Give 3 reasons why we use HTML controls over Server Controls? -interview03022012

Migration from earlier versions of Active Server Pages (ASP) : You can load an ASP application into Visual Studio and revise it gradually, rather than rewrite it completely. Earlier versions of ASP supported only HTML elements, and these elements become HTML controls when you load the project in Visual Studio .NET. Not all controls require server-side events or state management : This is particularly true when you’re doing data binding. Bound items are usually refreshed from the data source with each request, so it’s more efficient not to maintain state information for bound controls. This means that you can use HTML controls or turn off state management for bound server controls. You have complete control over what is rendered with HTML controls : ASP.NET adjusts the appearance of server controls based on the browser making the request. HTML controls are not adjusted, so you have direct control over their appearance.
