Technical Question : Is these 2 are same ?

Hi all,

I have 2 type of textbox in my ASP.NET

<input type="text" id="txtName" runat="Server">
<asp:textbox ...>

Are this 2 control are same ? I know when i mention runat server it makes the input textbox similar to ASP.net

I want more info. like..
Which one is better ?
Which one is faster ?

They are very different from the server side. The first one is an HtmlInputText control, while the second is a Textbox control. They work similarly, but I would think that you would have more control over the Textbox.

As for speed, I would say that the difference is insignificant.

Thanks
