Q:

find the type of html controls in javascript

How to find the control type in javasccript?. Say if i have an ASP.NET LinkButton and i wanna find control type from the javascript. How can i do that.
I tried using typeof(), but it giving me an object back. 
 and i tried
var control = document.getElementById(Id);//Id is the ClientId of the Linkbutton
alert(control.type);//this is empty.

A:

You can't find the controltype as in ASP.NET in javascript I think.
There is the attribute tagName that may help you:
control.tagName returns the HTML tagname. If you really want the ASP control name, you can try to put the controlname in for example the class attribute.

A:

you can't get control type directly by javascript.
you can try to use some serverside code to determine control class name:
var cType = '<%= Type.GetType(yourControlServerName).ToString() %>';
alert(cType);
