asp:net stop rendering html

[RFH Reseller: creativeworks]

with an asp : panel it automatically renders an html div box or table.

is there a way to stop the panel rendering any html?

Run the contents through HttpUtility.HtmlEncode should stop that.

Oh nevermind, misunderstood the question.

Use a contentplaceholder instead of a panel as it doesn't render in a div.

have you had a look at the new CSS friendly control adapters?

You could also create your own Control that inherits from the base control. This could then override the Render method.

A nice side effect of this ssee if the Panel has contents, and if so you render the panel as a DIV or TABLE (ie. base.Render). However, if the Panel doesn't have any contents then it could render nothing leaving the output Html / XHtml much cleaner.
