Remarks
The ServerClick event is raised when the HtmlButton control is clicked. This server event causes a round trip to occur from the client to the server and back. It is deliberately different from the client-side OnClick event. If a conflict exists between code run with a ServerClick event and code run by a client-side OnClick event, the server-side event instructions will override the client-side code.
