    Display HTML on a page

    Hi,
    I want to display HTML on a page.
    For example:

    If i have following values in a variable:

    Code:
    Dim str As String
str = <html><body><h1>Hello Html</h1></body></html>
    Then on html page i want to show these exact value not the formated text.

    On page this will appear:
    Code:
    <html><body><h1>Hello Html</h1></body></html>
    Thanx in advance

      If you send a String containing HTML to the browser, the browser will display the HTML as a web page. But you don't want the HTML to be displayed as a web page, you want it to be displayed as text.

      In order to do this you have to convert all "Reserved HTML characters" (like "<" and ">") into "character entities". Microsoft has been kind enough to provide you with the HtmlEncode method which will convert all HTML reserved characters into character entities for you!
