Solution 6

You are fundamentally misunderstanding how ASP.net works. On the server side, for a control, there is no HTML – the HTML only exists once controls go through the rendering process to create client side markup.

You need to change the properties of the object through the methods and properties that it exposes, in order to have it generate the markup you want at render time.

You take a label control and set innerText of label using javascript.

On server side, fetch value of label, it gives innerHTML of table.

Use this. And Rate accordingly.
