How to insert HTML into a page?

I need to have people generate html to place on a page.

In the simplest case it would simply be inserted into a DIV or similar
element.

It would also be nice to insert it into an ajax accordion.

I can't simply insert the entire html because it would have a HEAD and BODY
tag that needs to be stripped.

I'd like the style of the page to be refleced in the inserted data so I
can't use an iframe.

How can I do that.

Or is there a better way to enable non-programmers to provide data for
insertion on to a page?


Thanks

Scrape the HTML page from the user and remove the offending sections. If
XHTML, you can use XML objects to do it. With HTML, you still can use
HTML DOM objects.

1. Add a form for the user and use one ofthe open source editing tools.
Then save to a database.

2. Use a CMS (SharePoint, one of hte open source CMSs)

If I know what you mean that is what I do now.
I read the files into a string and then extract the contents of the <body>
Works ok but I was wondring if tere is a more "asp.net" way.

I don't know how to use DOM to extract the body contents in a .html file
that is not actually the page in the browser. Is that posible?

This sounds like it might work for me.

It is a bit of a kludge in .NET libraries, unfortunately. The way I have
done it is use the web browser control as an object and pull its HTML
document. You simply serve it a document from a local path instead of
from the web.

FreeTextBox, which Mark suggested, works rather nicely. ;-)
