Hey all,
Quick question here. Within VS.NET there are various tags such as
<asp:Table>, <asp:TableCell>, etc... which can be used in lieu of
<Table>, <td>, etc...

Why do such replacement tags exist? Do they convey any inherent
advantage over the old ones?

Thanks!
 
the <asp:> control support databinding, where the standard html controls
with runat=sever do not.
