Placing the form tag within dynamically generated text...

01-04-2005

Hi,

I am writing a content management system that has to have W3C compliant
output. The pages are template driven and there are special strings within
the template to be used as placeholders for the content. However, when I
output the content to a literal (as shown below) the body and html tags are
within the form tags.

Is there any way to position the form tags within the dynamically generated
text (ie to just after the opening body tag)?

Also, can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial for writing
W3C compliant sites in .Net?

Page in front code:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="default.aspx.vb"
Inherits="MyProj._default" %>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:Literal id="litOut" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
</form>
Thanks in advance,

Stu

If you create a normal .aspx page with the above code, I think you'll find
that the <form> tag is within the <html> and <body> tags. If the <form> tag
is outside, then I think your code must be doing that.

Hi,

Yes, this is the point. Each html template requires different headers
(title, stylesheet etc) so I am writing them dynamically in to the page. Is
there and way of forcing the form tag to within the content I am writing to
the literal?

Thanks in advance,

Stu

You've already got one form tag surrounding the literal, and you want
another one inside of it?

Instead, you should do something like the following:

<html>
<head id="header" runat="server"></head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Then, you can add controls to header.Controls.
