Hello

anybody knows how i can strip out the html from a control's innerhtml to show only the relevant text? i.e
<span id="test1" runat="server"><a href="test1.htm">abcde</a><b>blah</b></span

so that on my server side code, somehow i would get "abcde blah"?
thanks!

Provided it is xhtml compliant (i.e. no unclosed tags and case sensitive),
why not read the contents of each node, with an XmlTextReader? Then
concatenate each node's value using a StringBuilder.

ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDK/cpref/html/frlrfSystemXmlXmlTextReaderClassctor
Topic.htm

....and see the example at bottom for how to use the XmlTextReader.

FYI... you wouldn't get "abcde blah" you'd get "abcdeblah"
I dont think there is an auto-way to do this but just look for the > and <
and use the Substring in a recursive function
