Figure 3-6. Using the Page.Controls collection
Accessing the Page Head
If you look closely at Figure 3-6, you’ll see that the HTMLHead of the page is listed as one of
the controls on this page. You can see the reason for this if you look back at Listing 3-11,
where the tag has a runat="server" attribute set.
This enables you to set HTML page attributes from the server dynamically so that
you can, for example, set the attributes of the HTML header from within your code. For
example, the page title can be set quite simply. (Note that this technique is identical to
what you saw for accessing the ASP.NET HTML control properties with the add/subtract
application.)
First, make sure that the tag has an ID, like this:
