Dim FILENAME As String = Page.MapPath("something.txt")

HomeDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory

TextBox1.Text = File.ReadAllText(FILENAME, Encoding.UTF8)



If I want to display text I use a TextBox and the above.

But a .txt is not that flexible a format.

I've tried other formats but the TextBox doe not appear to understand them.

How can I display a file of formatted text?



=========================

I'd like to display a site in a pane on my (Aspnet) page.

That is, when href-ing a site I'd like the site not to replace my page but
to occupy part of it. Is that possible?



========================

Warning 1 Validation (XHTML 1.0 Transitional): Element 'marquee' is not
supported. I:\MyD...


But it is such a nice control!

Do people use it anyway?

Is there a nice replacement?



Thanks for any answers

TinyMCE will display and allow the editing of HTML content.

A text box can't display any formatted text at all.

If you want to display formatted text on a web page, the html format is
the obvious choise. Any other format needs a special viewer, conversion
to html or rendering as an image.

iframe

No, not really.

It's not supported any more, because there isn't really any serious
application for it.
Do people use it anyway?
Rarely.

You could build something using DHTML.
 
Thanks for the replies.

Guess I don't know how to display the hmtl.

I'd like the text to be in a file different from the page file.

And I need scroll bars.

I tried displaying it with a textbox bit it shows the codes rather than
formatting with them.

How do you display an html file within a page?


Thanks
 
Thanks a lot.

One continuing problem I have is not knowing what is considered good
programming practice in ASP.NET. Like the marquee - I like it a lot. I think
it's a good attention getter. I guess it's fallen out of favor generally.

Actually Göran mentioned iframe in connection with my second question -
displaying a remote site - I wasn't astute enough to extend it to the first
question.

Thanks to both of you

If you have a complete html document, you can display it in an iframe,
like Mark sugested.

If you have an html snippet, you can use a div tag with the style
overflow:auto; and put the html code in the InnerHtml property.

Thanks - iframe is working great. I'll keep the InnerHtml property in mind.
 
I looked at sourceforge TinyMCE and found little documentation so I searched
the Internet and found many hits but I'm still not sure.

Is TinyMCE for inserting into a site or for using in the pc, or both.

I think it is only for add to ones internet page so a reader can use it. Is
that correct?


thanks
