Event won't fire in webpart lifecycle

I have a webpart that is quire simple. CLick on "Add" link that sets a 2 text boxes visible. Type in some text and click "Save" button but the click event won't fire. I'm pasting the code it hopes of some suggestion. I've searched for solutions but haven't found anything I can go on. I realize what maight be the issue but don't know how to corrct it. I need to be able to wireup and event with the handler sotimes before the page renders and I tried to override the OnPreRender method but it did not work in right moment.

Other minor issue that I will need to address is that the onFocus method doesn't work in txtMyLinkName.Focus(). Thanks for your help! - Risho

If you are creating the button in code, then it needs to be wired up in the Page_Load event so that the click event can fire. Page_PreRender is too late.

In addition to adding the control in Load event as already posted, you should set the ID field e.g. btnSaveMyLink.ID = "SaveLink"; to a unique value.
