hi,
"They both produce an html table. All controls only produce html but server
controls like asp:table will likely emit more properties/values in their
output.
HTML elements in ASP.NET files are treated as text, server controls are
treated as objects. To make these html elements server side programmable
you can add a runat="server" attribute to the HTML element. The main
difference between htl table and asp:table is the way they can be
nested,created, bound and controlled at runtime as an object rather than a
string of text."
