Writing a DIV tag?

[Andrew Backer]

Starting to mess with writing to the HtmlTextWriter, and have a
question about divs.

Why is it that HtmlTextWriterTag.Div writes a *table*, when I tell it
write a div? The tooltip help says "Specifies an HTML Div Element",
but the documentation on the tag says that it will write out a table?

Is there some *good* reason why MS doesn't want me to use a div? It
just seems reeee-diculus

Maybe, maybe, but are you overriding the HTMLTextWriter TagKey
property?

I should have been a bit more liberal with info on what I am doing.
Sorry.

i'm just writing a normal webcontrol, and poking at methods on the
writer that gets past in to the RenderContents method :

override protected void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter writer) {
... add attributes ...
writer.RenderBeginTag ( HtmlTextWriterTag.Div );
// writer.RenderBeginTag ( "div" );
writer.RenderEndTag();
}

What browser are you using to view the page?

Firefox is my first test, second test is IE if that works ok.
