Question

I want dynamical add HTML on my div.
I do this with:

            newsAllScroller.InnerHtml = newsAllScroller.InnerHtml + "<br><center><b>";
            List<DAL.News> newsList = DAL.NewsHandler.GetAllNews();
            foreach (DAL.News n in newsList)
            {
                newsAllScroller.InnerHtml = newsAllScroller.InnerHtml + "<br>" + n.Betreff + " - ("
                    + "<asp:HyperLink ID=\"news"+n.NewsID+"\" runat=\"server\" NavigateUrl=\"~/News.aspx?id=" + n.NewsID + "\""
                    + " CssClass=\"newsLink\">"
                    + "..."
                    + "</asp:HyperLink>"
                    + ")";
            }
            newsAllScroller.InnerHtml = newsAllScroller.InnerHtml + "</center></b>";

The HyperLink is not working (you cannot click it).

When I copy the hyperlink from the browser-source-code into an aspx-page it works, so it seems the syntax is all correct – but it doasn’t work via code, why?

You cannot add server side control to HTML and think of it to behave normally, you would have to modify your code to

newsAllScroller.InnerHtml = newsAllScroller.InnerHtml + "<br>" + n.Betreff + " - ("
                    + "<a href ="/News.aspx?id=" + n.NewsID + "\""
                    + " class=\"newsLink\">"
                    + "... </a>"
                    + ")";
