This is a test page that we add a simple HTML button with an ID of btnSave with some script(Not web form control). No need or 'Run as Server Control'. I added an HTML Hidden control and initialize it in the checkUIEntry() function.
First we force the Page_ClientValidate() function in the WebUIValidation.js file that the framework downloads. If that returns true, then prompt the web visitor to submit the page.
Then, in the Page_Load event, we check for IsPostBack and the value of the Hidden control.
