whats the real difference between server controls and dhtml controls?

[alphabeta]

between for example a combo box made of java and one made as server control? i tried creating one in a asp.net page and setting the selectedItemChanged event to do something but it doesnt appear to ocurr :\ any help/explanations?

Try adding:
AutoPostBack="True"
to the combobox declaration in the html.

If you are still having problems, post the html and code your using.

that made the trick..but is there anyway with server controls that when the item index changes it loads another page in the iframe without having to reload all the webpage? i can do that easily with javascript..but with this server control? is it possible?

I don't believe that's possible with ASP... Unless you had the listbox (and whatever else) in it's own frame. (I think)
