    display html in browser

    Hi,

    I fetch data from database (lots of strings), and display them in an html
    table in a web browser. The problem is that some of the data can contain
    html, or at least stuff that looks like html, and that confuses the browser.
    What can I do so the browser just displays the string exactly as it comes
    from the database?

    I have looked at UrlEncode, and while this does allow the strings to be
    displayed without "problems", things like spaces are replaced with '+' and I
    don't want that either.

    Thanks,
    Peter
