ASP.NET, Trigger codebehind eventhandler with anchor tag

Question

Is it possible to call an eventhandler codebehind, using an anchor tag? I've tried different things, but it doesn't seem to work.

I've tried writing my tag like this:

<a class="Button" onclick="Button1_Click" runat="server"></a>

with no success...

Any ideas?

Use LinkButton for link with server side behaviour.

<asp:LinkButton runat="server" 
  ID="LinkButton1" 
  OnClick="LinkButton1_Click" 
  Text="Link">
</asp:LinkButton>
