This should be easy

[John Haycock]

Hi

I want to take a variable I have read from a database and place it in
<h1></h1> tags on the web page. What's the best/easiest way to do this?

I don't want to use an asp:label because this is rendered as a <span>.

Thanks in advance

John

Use a literal control.


MyLiteral.Text = "<h1>" + MyVariable + "</h1>";

Thank you Ray

I will read up on literal controls

<h1><%# variable %></h1>

You can also use

<h1 id="hgcHeader" runat="server" />

and then in your code-behind, set the text as follows:

hgcHeader.InnerText = variable;

Cheers Chris it's good to know there are different ways to do this. I
haven't tried those out yet because I used a literal as suggested by Ray and
it worked a treat (cheers Ray) but I will definately try your methods on the
next one.

Many thanks
