Question

Answer 1

+2 A:

No, runat is not supposed to be there. Since you do not need to access this control on server side, you do not need it.

so u mean if I add some attribute to this div in code behind like .. "id1.Attributes.Add(..); " ...only then I need to give runat..right ??

@Happy Soul yes, you only need `runat="server"` if you need programmatic access to the control from *code-behind*. Remember, the simple fact of it being an `aspx` file means it *will* be processed by the ASP.NET engine, so `<% %>` tags *will* be processed.

Answer 2

+3 A:

Runat controls whether a control instance will be created server side. Dynamic injection directives such as <%=%> are always processed whether runat is set or not.
