Just found an annoying little issue...

If a have an <asp:checkbox runat="server" id="myCheckbox" text="A Checkbox"
/>

In my code-behind I will add a custom attribute:

myCheckbox.Attributes.Add("myCustomAttribute", "myCustomValue");

the problem is, this is rendered as:

<span myCustomAttribute="myCustomValue"><input type="checkbox"
id="myCheckbox" name="myCheckbox"><label for="myCheckBox">A
Checkbox</label></span>

As you can see, the custom attribute is added to the SPAN of the rendered
control, but not on the actual checkbox control, where you would expect and
need it to be.

Thank you

I found this issue as well, and a workaround is to use the =
HtmlInputCheckbox instead of the CheckBox.

This behavior happens because the CheckBox supports adding a label to =
it, and they wanted to make sure that any styles or such that you apply =
to the CheckBox, also apply to the label. ( I'm assuming there )

the HtmlInputCheckbox gives you more control over the rendered tag, so I =
suggest you use that instead.

exactly where I went! Bummer that you lose the label though. Guess you
can't have it all!
