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'm doing ajax website using PostWebRequest() function, when i call any .aspx page to the target html element the output is coming fine in IE but in FF(FireFox) is coming in html format(html tags) IE output : [URL] FF output : [URL]
javascript functions : function PostWebRequest(postPage, HTMLTarget, parameter) { displayElement = $get(HTMLTarget); displayElement.innerHTML = "<div style='text-align:center;'><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src='images/ajax-loader.gif' algin='center' /></div>"; var wRequest = new Sys.Net.WebRequest(); wRequest.set_url(postPage); wRequest.set_httpVerb("POST"); var body = parameter; wRequest.set_body(body); wRequest.get_headers()["Content-Length"] = body.length; wRequest.add_completed(onWebRequestCompleted); wRequest.invoke(); } function onWebRequestCompleted(executor, eventArgs) { if (executor.get_responseAvailable()) { if (document.all) { displayElement.innerHTML = executor.get_responseData(); } else { displayElement.textContent = executor.get_responseData(); } } else { if (executor.get_timeOut()) { alert("Timed Out"); } else { if (executor.get_aborted()) alert("Aborted"); } } }
I have to break a HTML content string in to multiple lines. And each line should have some fixed characters, 50 or 60 Also I don't want to break the word..or html tags...
ex : <p>Email: <a href="mailto:someone@gmail.com">someone@gmail.com</a></p> <p><em>"Text goes <font color=red>Hello world</font> Text goes here and Text goes here Text goes here 1976."</em> </p>
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 am looking at ASP.NET MVC2 and trying to post a complex object using the new EditorFor syntax.I have a FraudDto object that has a FraudCategory child object and I want to set this object from the values that are posted from the form.Posting a simple object is not a problem but I am struggling with how to handle complex objects with child objects.I have the following parent FraudDto object whcih I am binding to on the form:
public class FraudDto { public FraudCategoryDto FraudCategory { get; set; }
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 have a asp.net page that generates a report. For better or for worse, the entire thing is generated using nested tables. I am able to export the page to excel, however I lose all my formatting (can't set column widths, etc). Is there a way to handle this? I'm open to adding any goofy MS Office -specific tags that are required to the html side of it.
If this isn't feasible and if anyone has any other ideas, the requirement is that users need a report that:
a) They can manually touch up with some personalization / area-specific data
b) Needs to be hide/show columns based on user's location
When I run it the italic attribute works on the second item, but not on the first. I'm guessing it doesn't work because it's being passed as a literal string and the html formatting is lost.
How can this be made to work?
The reason I ask is because in my project, the text for the list item is stored in a database and I want the ability to include formatting for the item at the database level.
Code: @Html.Raw("hello <i>world</i>")
However, I am not getting the result I need, so here is a bit more code....
Code: @helper addNodes(dcNode As DocumentContent) @<li id=@dcNode.Id> @dcNode.nodeTitle <--This results in "White Papers - <i>New</i>" @Html.Raw(dcNode.nodeTitle) <--The truncates the string at the tag and results in "White Papers -" @If dcNode.children.Count > 0 Then @For Each childNode As DocumentContent In dcNode.children.Values @<ul id=@dcNode.nodeTitle>@addNodes(childNode)</ul> Next End If </li> End Helper
This is a recursive helper that populates node for a jsTree and works fine, but the inline html is not working. Here is what the result looks like.
The text for each li is shown twice because I am showing it once without and once with HTML.RAW. Notice the "White Paper" item... the second text is truncate at the <i> tag.Why is this and how can I fix it?
For the last time I've been using EWS MAPI to connect to Exchange Server. After this is done I access my mails and firstly display their body (which contains a LOT HTML-tags) in a gridview. After you select a record of that gridview the body is shown in a freetextbox.
I have a text area in my ASP.NET web application that is used to enter html code. Now there is also an button control, which upon clicking should retrieve just the text placed between certain html tags in the text box. For example:
1) User types html code including tags etc. and clicks the OK button 2) In my code the text from the text area is retrieved and only the part between a <p></p> tag should be saved to a string object.
I can obviously get the text from the text area and attach it to a string object but I am not able to work out how to just get text within a certain html tag like <p></p>
I want to get some data from html tags in a web page. For example I have a web site that's got [URL], this is text which I want to split. I want to first URL, First text thats between in first span tags and last text that's between the last span tags.
Why does the gridview put everything in a table?! Is there a way to not have the gridview generate any html what-so-ever and just use what I have in the ItemTemplate?
I have content that I want to load dynamically, the problem is it has some html formatting in it. What control should i pull the text into, is there a way to pull the text into a div or a label, along with the formatting?
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.
I am getting unlikely html tags for hidden fields in my website when redirecting to the page. I do not get it all the time but I am getting it frequently. e.g.: I was support to get
I am trying to build a white list. I am using html agility pack to remove all tags I do not allow. however this only gets ride of these type of script tags
