Setting up the HTML for this project

Create a project as shown in Figure 6.20.1 (I have eliminated the <div> tag lines, as we won't be needing them):

Figure 6.20.1: The starting HTML for our project

First, let's put a Button control into the project form, as follows:

 <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Update Labels" /><br /> 

Next, change the Text property in the Button markup to read Update Labels. Post this, put Label controls under this Button control. You can keep the one that's there already, but we'll add a couple of other ones. So, change the ID property on the existing Label markup to say mainLabel, as follows:

asp:Label ID="mainLabel" runat="server"></asp:Label> 

Now, before this line, create more Label control. Drag in another label; we'll call this labelOne...
