Question

I need some help figuring out how to do something.

I got this gallery (galleriffic) and some images that are store in Flicker.com so I used the flicker api to get the images but still add them manually to test the gallery.

Now I’m looking for a good way to insert the images into the html after I get them with the flicker api.

I found this htmltextwriter and used the function

Response.Write(GetDivElements());

but this is adding the div’s on the top of the html and not inside the body tag.

my qustions is:

1. is HtmlTextWriter writer = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWriter) a good way to build html tags on the server side?

2. Is there a better way to add elements to the html other then Response.Write(""); ?

Answer 1

If you are using the older style of asp.net, and not asp.net MVC, then you can just create a div with an id and runat=”server”. Then you can just write directly to the html.

aspx page

<div id = "DivINeedToAddStuffTo" runat="server" />

aspx.cs

DivINeedToAddStuffTo.InnerHtml = GetDivElements();   

Also, I do not see anything wrong with using HtmlTextWriter to create your Html markup
