HtmlContainerControl.InnerHtml Property
System.Web.UI.HtmlControls Namespace HtmlContainerControl Class
Sets or retrieves the HTML content between the start and end tags of the specified HTML server control.
Syntax
| Script | HtmlContainerControl.InnerHtml [ = strTxt ] |
|---|
This property can only be used programmatically; it cannot be set when declaring the control.
Property Value
| strTxt | A String object or literal. |
The property takes a string containing a valid combination of text and HTML tags.
Exceptions
| Exception Type | Condition |
|---|---|
| HttpException | Thrown if
|
Remarks
Use the InnerHtml property to programmatically modify the content, including HTML markup, between the opening and closing tags of an HTML server control.
When setting the property, the given string completely replaces the existing content of the object, except for <html>, <head>, and <title> elements.
Unlike the InnerText property, InnerHtml does not automatically encode special characters to and from HTML character entities, which makes it suitable for including HTML markup. To provide automatic HTML encoding and decoding, use the InnerText property instead.
Example
The below example illustrates using the InnerHtml property to render a bullet list of items in a <span runat="server"> control.
if ( Check1.Checked || Check2.Checked || Check3.Checked ) {
Message.InnerHtml = "Looks like you prefer: <ul>";
if ( Check1.Checked ) Message.InnerHtml += "<li>"+Check1.Value;
if ( Check2.Checked ) Message.InnerHtml += "<li>"+Check2.Value;
if ( Check3.Checked ) Message.InnerHtml += "<li>"+Check3.Value;
Message.InnerHtml += "</ul>";
}
else Message.InnerText = "Looks like you don't prefer anything.";
