for ASP controls I assign meta:resourcekey="CompanyNameTb", but is it possible to do the same with a HTML tag, e.g. <a></a> ? — Tony

You neeed to add runat="server" to the control.

<input type="button" value="Press Me" runat="server" 
   meta:resourcekey="PressMeButtonResources"/>

Alternatively, you could retrieve resource values programmatically. Here is a an MSDN Article on how to do that. Then you could generate content on the Server side and apply it to your page.
