Custom Control, OutputRender, AddStyleAttribute problem

[Damien]

Hi guys,

I'm developing a custom control which essentially acts as a button
control, so I'm calling AddStyleAttribute repeatedly on the output
stream, then adding a few normal attributes, and then outputting the
input:

If Not Me.Visible Then Return
output.AddStyleAttribute("vertical-align", "baseline")
output.AddStyleAttribute("width", Me.Width.ToString())
output.AddStyleAttribute("cursor", "hand")
output.AddStyleAttribute("color", Me.ForeColor.ToString())
output.AddStyleAttribute("border-top-style", "none")
output.AddStyleAttribute("border-right-style", "none")
output.AddStyleAttribute("border-left-style", "none")
output.AddStyleAttribute("border-bottom-style", "none")
output.AddStyleAttribute("height", Me.Height.ToString())
output.AddStyleAttribute("background-color",
Me.BackColor.ToString())
output.AddStyleAttribute("text-align", "center")
output.AddStyleAttribute("background-image", Me.URLRoot &
"RoundedButton.gifx?Width=" & Me.Width.ToString() & "&Height=" &
Me.Height.ToString() & "&StraightHeight=" & Me.HeightStraightPercent &
"&Color=" & Me.BackColor.ToString() & "&BorderWidth=" &
Me.BorderWidth.ToString() & "&BorderColor=" &
Me.BorderColor.ToString())
output.AddAttribute("name", Me.ID)
output.AddAttribute("value", Me.Text)
output.AddAttribute("type", "submit")
'Add support for validation
output.RenderBeginTag("input")
output.RenderEndTag()

When It reaches the browser, only the normal attributes have appeared.
There's no sign of a style attribute at all. So, obvious question time:
Am I doing something stupid? Is this not the way I'm meant to apply my
styling?

Just an update on this - I've not managed to make this work, so I've
switched to outputting the right pieces of markup using the
output.write() method. It looks a lot messier, and it's a lot more
frustrating, but hey-ho.
