C# strings

Elias Olney

Hey there...

I want to use c# to fill a string in my application that I can then use to place directly in my HTML code...

e.g.

[#MYSTRING#]

REASON: I have about 10 pages all with the same menu system hardcoded in each page. I want to remove the menu html from all of these pages and then place a tag/string such as [#menucode#] into each of the 10 files where the menu code would normally have been... then I just have one file containing the menu code that my application uses to put into the string... that way I don't have to edit every page when I change 1 item in the menu etc...

Many thanks.

I placed a class in my application containg a public sting with all the menu HTML in it and then used the <%Response.Write(mystring.ToString();)%> Which works perfectly as I can fill my strings from SQL now etc...

You can use the DOM document object model to insert, modify or delete nodes within your page

You can do that either by using C# within an Asp page context or JavaScript within both Asp page context and Html page case

Use the javascript to do that:

if(document.getElementById)
document.getElementById('id').innerHTML = "I'm Bejaoui Bechir";
if(document.all)
document.all('id').innerHTML = "I'm Bejaoui Bechir";
if(document.layers)
document.layers('id').innerHTML = "Some words...";

' id' here the node id attribute in witch you want to insert text

You can use the C# too
Response.Write("Some words...");
