ASP Literal Or Page Altering HTML String Causes Formatting
Jun 16, 2010
We have a service that generates a report (using word templates and a 3rd party library), and then returns a string in HTML. While this HTML isn't great - its formatted correctly in this string. We want this HTML to show up on a page - format intact. What we currently have done is set an ASP.net Literal's text element to this string. While this works, I have noticed that it has reformatted the HTML string slightly. For the most part, it looks like it generated a bunch of new CSS classes, and a new style element in the HTML. This HTML does not exist in the string thats being returned. I could filter all of this back out, but wonder if there is a better way. I assume that the Page itself is altering something. What is the best way to display this raw HTML back to the user? I can't directly use a Response.Write(string), because this page does have a few other controls on it.
My user filled a textbox with a text that was copied from Microsoft Word. This is a part of the text .
This system is - AUTOMATIC - and it is restricted
Look the symbols before and after the word AUTOMATIC. When I try to write this on a dynamically generated html page using the code bellow, i got this on the screen:
This system is â€" AUTOMATIC â€" and it is restricted
Code used to print the SQL Field:
[Code]....
The - symbol is not a minus symbol, but is a Word minus (-) symbol...
I am fetching some data from Db and displaying it in a textarea using jquery in the following way.$('#textareatest').val('<% =teststring %>').It is possible that the string 'teststring' can contain XHTML line breaks(<br/>).whenever the string contains <br/> I am getting the 'unterminated string literal' error.I saw a number of posts considering '' as line breaks and suggesting to escape it.I tried to escape the <br/> similarly,but it didn't work.
I want to show just a part of a string for example:
Instead: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua."
Just a: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing..."
I'm trying to pass a string value to a javascript function from a LinkButton's OnClientClick event, but the function is receiving "<%# Container.DataItem %>" instead of the value. Here's the code:
The container is a collection of strings. Why is it not evaluating?EDIT: This is located in a nested ListView. The datasource for the inner ListView is a property in the datasource of the outer ListView.
</div> in this case both of this divs are part user control progress bar i'm making, from not related reason i couldn't use ASP.NET elements and had to go back to the traditional HTML elements.so to be able to give those elements dynamic attributes such as tooltip, id, class i had to add literals inside those elemtns..
My Problem Simply is when i create a Literal Control and I put at the text property Html Input
(<input type="text" name="textfield17" id="textfield17" />) and create an control button and But at the click event of the control button :
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Response.Write(Literal1.Text) End Sub
and When I run the application I will find at the literal control a text box when i Type any text at it and click the button it return another Literal have only Html Input control without the text it entered
I'm building a html table dynamically in an ASP.NET code behind file using C#. I basically loop through a set of data which is an unknown number of records and split a string containing all the values to make the required number of tds. I display the html by assigning it to an asp:Literal control. However I can't get the table to fit the screen - the browser is adding a horizontal scroll bar and the full table is well off the screen. I tried in IE 8 and FF 3.6.13. Most things I've read online about it say to set the width to 100%. I'm doing this but it's having no effect.
I am streaming HTML content into a Literal control in an ASPX page, and am continually running into a problem where the page loads fine the first time I try it, then subsequent attempts fail to load.
The purpose of the aspx page is to act as a 'broker' to another process that produces streamed HTML output, which then needs to be resolved by the browser.
The reason I'm not just using HtmlTextWriter to stream out the code to the Response object is that the streamed HTML contains framesets, and I am forbidden from modifying that code in any way, so I must keep the streamed code intact. In spite of the fact that frameset HTML hardcoded into the ASPX file would work, it does NOT resolve streamed frameset code!
In any case, streaming into the literal (by creating a string that is assigned to the Literal's Text property) works just fine -- the FIRST time I load that page. If I exit the page, then try to reinstantiate, it FAILS, producing an empty HTML file (containing only "<HTML></HTML>").
I've put (spaces between & and gt above code otherwise it was not showing in stackoverflow.) The HTML sysntaxs are correct because it's created by an HTMLEDITOR.
I know that it is basic questions, but I am stuck here.
I have TableOne have fields: USERNAME, PID, GID, TID, SID, NEWSID. I need to write query string to check if those value is already in the table. If not, insert those value to the table.
I have the following code, which generates insert queries
For Each f As String In Directory.GetFiles(d) objSQLStringBuilder.Append("insert into table1 (full_path, file_name) values ('" & f.Replace("'", "''") & "', '" & f.Remove(0, Len(d) + 1).Replace("'", "''") & "');") Next
However, the paths which it finds are formatted as follows c:program filesmicrosoft officewinword.exe I need to format the paths as follows file:///c:/program%20files/microosoft%20office/winword.exe. How can I modify the above code to do this?
I've been wrestling with this for a while, and I just can't seem the get the correct amount of quotes in the correct place, so as a last resort, I'm hoping someone could attempt to correct it.
In this section, I am trying to manually add in tabs and line spaces so the string is formatted when displayed via the pre tag. But this does not work.
I don't know how to get spaces, tabs, carriage returns into that string which are recognizable by the pre tag, as environment.newline and/or vbtab make no difference.
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Is it possible to display HTML as text on your page in a formatted manner? For example, it should contain white spaces, tabs etc etc for readability purposes:
From another question, I have learned how to display HTML as text as follows:
I have a calculation that takes place utilizing the TimeSpan.FromTicks method, the result is stored in a TimeSpan object. The calculation itself is working correctly, but I'd like to format the result a bit nicer than it is and I can't figure out how to format a TimeSpan.
The result from the TimeSpan is:
00:00:04.6153846
I'd like to remove any preceding zero's and round up to the second decimal place, such as:
4.62
Does anyone know how I might be able to accomplish this? I can't seem to find a .NET 'built in' solution.
What is the proper way to.. escape if that is the proper term, that html entity so that it will produce the output Code: 8:53 am and the non breaking space is rendered correctly be the browser?
I have a table in my SQL DB that is a DateTime table, what I want to do is take the numeric datetime it stores and convert it to a long date (i.e. 12/12/2012 conversts to December 12, 2012). Seaching the forums it looks like the string.format is the way to go and searching for info on that I found [URL] which lists all the different formats but they do not list a formating string to convert to the format I want to use. Does anyone know what format string I would use to convert a numeric date to a long date like I want? And can you show it in a code example because I am not 100% sure I understand the code examples shown on that site.
I am currently writing a small templating system in ASP.NET to allow users to add content. For example, the user can enter the string (variable type is string).
topHeader[x] = "They think it's all over. It is now!";
However, one change that's needed is the ability to add some basic HTML tags within this content, so the following can be done
topHeader[x] = "They think it's all over. <strong>It is now!</strong>" or
topHeader[x] = "They think it's all over. <a title="Football News" href="URL">It is now!</a>";
If you add such things into strings now they are not formatted as HTML, but I want to somehow escape them so that they can be. Naturally I've looked on the Internet for the answer, but as Razor is fairly new there's not much out there to help me out.
I've looked around and can't find a solution for this and it's driving me mad.I've got a basic MVC2 app (C#) and am trying to display text from a database with the line breaks included. I've used the following:
This is adding the tags to the returned string as I'd expect but when the page renders it actually displays the tag as is instead of rendering the newline. ie. the text seen by the user in the browser is:"Quisque justo erat, iaculis sit amet aliquam eu, porttitor in mauris.<br /><br />Maecenas nisi velit, euismod at molestie vitae, malesuada id turpis. Mauris diam nisl, pretium id molestie nec, posuere posuere neque.<br /><br />Cras sed lectus nisl."
I have problem in converting date to string I am using cstr(p.tripstart) , which is returning Date as 12 Aug 2010 12:AM I need to make formating This is my code :
