Simple question number 2

[Manny Chohan]

Hi Guys, My code is getting the strings from the database and due to the fact
that some of the strings have html tags in them i am using textarea to
maintain all the new lines etc instead of label which concatenates everything
in one line.
How can i reserve a space on the page and have codebehind write in that area
so that i can get rid of text area?

Thanks
Manny

If you want to format a space for a blob of text, consider moving away from
HTML tables and using CSS. You can then chop things up however you like. This
can also be used to solve your hyperlink spacing problem.

Carving out a space, on a simpler level, can be accomplished by dropping a
Panel control on the page and attaching the text you are outputting into this
Panel as a literal control.

Panel1.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(myTextString));

Use Server.HtmlEncode(string) to HTMLEncode the text. Then it can be
displayed in an HTML document as HTML. That is, any HTML tags will be
HTML-Encoded to be the HTML for those characters. When viewed in a browser,
it will look like the original text.
