How to set width for a place holder

[J-T]

I am constructing an HTML text which I need to render in my ASP.NET page.
string rssOutput = Posts.listPosts (Constants.Webl ogSectionID);

rssOutput contains html code and text.Then I create a literal control as
follow:

LiteralControl lit = new LiteralControl( rssOutput);

lit.Text = lit.Text.Replac e("&lt;","<") ;

lit.Text = lit.Text.Replac e("&gt;",">") ;

lit.Text = lit.Text.Replac e("&amp;","&" );

and I add that control to a place holder called "phOutput".

this.phOutput.C ontrols.Add(lit );

I have no problem rendering the HTML inside the place holder and it works
fine,my only problem is I don;t know how to control the width of my place
holder.It seems that I cannot increase it programmaticall y or at design
time.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I guess I found the problem,

I was rendering a table in my HTML section and its width was set to 10%
instead of 100%.

A placeholder does not have width or height. It is simply a way to tag a
location within a page. Try wrapping your litterals inside a table and givce
the cell the required width:

<table><tr><t d width=100px>you r text</td></tr></table>
