Hi Betty,
As for the "DataTargets" attribute, it is not a standard built-in server
control attribute(such as Textbox.Text ). I think it is a custom attribute
used by the developer to store some data (maybe it will be used by some
client-side script or used by some postback event later). For example, you
can also add your own custom attribute as below:
==============
<asp
ropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" DataTargets="ddd"
MyClientAttribute="some value" >
<asp:ListItem>aaa</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>bbb</asp:ListItem>
</asp
ropDownList>
==============
or you can even use code to add custom attribute
============
DropDownList1.Attributes.Add("my attribute","some data");
============
here is another thread ever discussed on the same topics:

Subject: dataTargets in web control
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:34:01 -0800
Hi all,
I saw in one of our *.aspx, there are some controls that have the following
format:
<div class="Cell">
<asp
ropDownList ID="ddlValidationType" runat="server"
CssClass="DropDown" Width="150px"
DataTargets="SelectedValue:[[ruleValidationTypeID(IntForDropDown)]]"
/>
</div>
Can someone tell what kind of grammer is this?
DataTargets="SelectedValue:[[ruleValidationTypeID(IntForDropDown)]]"
I googled a bit, didn't get any clue.
Thanks,
