Using ResolveUrl on HTML button in MasterPage

asp.net onclick resolveurl
Jagd picture Jagd · Mar 5, 2012 · Viewed 7.4k times · Source

I have the following HTML in my MasterPage:

<input class="button" type="button" value="Select User" onclick='<%# string.Format(@"location.href={0}", ResolveUrl("~/SelectUser.aspx")) %>' />

I'm trying to figure out how to get ResolveUrl to work with an HTML input button, but no matter how I twist and turn it I can't get it right (meaning the click never redirects the page to SelectUser.aspx). I could use an ASP.NET Button, but then I'd have to monkey with my CSS and I really don't want to spend the time doing that.

Any help on how to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I use href like below and make sure that there is no runat="server" tag.

    href = "<%=this.ResolveUrl("~/abc.aspx")%>"
