you can use a normal
<div>hello</div>

or
<div id="div1" runat="server" />

and on codebehind

div1.text = "hello"

you cannot do that with the first one

How about <script runat="server">?

<%@ Page Language="VBScript" %>

<script runat="server">
Sub Page_load (Obj As Object, E As EventArgs)
your code here
End Sub
</script>

<html>
<body><form id="frm" runat="server">
........ your page content here
</form></body>
<html>

u use it when you write the code imto the aspx page directly

I myself never use it

in sted you have better to do >>>

<%@ Page Language="VBScript" Codebehind="default.aspx.vb" Inherits="yourNameSpaceRoot.webSite.defaultPage"%>

and write your server code into the default.aspx.vb page

Codebehind="default.aspx.vb" is only using Visual Studio

otherwise you must write >>> Src="default.aspx.vb"

but <%@ Page Inherits="yourNameSpaceRoot.webSite.defaultPage"%>
works too if you don't work with design
