how to convert HTML page to aspx page, Web Experts & Gurus Required HEre !!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear all,
now i have my web designer working all over to build my site interface he is using XARA web Design packages to produce awesome pages. now when i imported these pages into my visual basic .net web application project and try to copy the html code so that i can build an aspx pages that i can program. i had all types of problems

1 - first when i place a server control (button) on the page, i had the error control must be placed between runat=server tags.

i went around this problem by placing the button inside a panel control, the forms shows it but whenever the user click the button at run time. i ahd an exception

can any1 help me out, what will help is how to convert html pages into aspx pages. i know their structures are similat but the aspx uses a code behind page approach to grant the page it's functionality.

oh, please note that my html pages contains JAva script menus at the top of the pages that were build by XARA..

Waiting your precious help
