Basic web controls refer to the following: Text Field, Text Area, Checkbox, Radio Button, Image Button, Button, Drop-down List, and List. In most cases, these basic web controls are not used independently. They are bound with some web actions, or put into a form. When a basic web control is bound with some web actions which will be triggered on certain events, any of the events applied to the web control will perform the web actions.
