Gridview nor rendering hyperlinks, just displaying HTML tags

Hello,

I have a GridView and I am processing the values in the first column: This creates a hyperlink to a new page and passes the value of the link in. This works fine working locally, but when I upload to my webserver, the first column is rendering as the HTML:

Code

e.Row.Cells(0).Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:void(window.open('Drilldowns/Popup_Window_Milestones_Gantt.aspx?PROJECT_ID=" & DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "PROJECT_ID") & "&PROJECT=" & Server.HtmlEncode(DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "PROJECT")) & "','win',centerTopLeftPos(870,610)));")

Rendering on remote server as:

<span style='text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;'>AZD5904 MPO MS</span>

i.e. I am actually seeing <span.... in the gridview. Funnily enough the hyperlink still works.

Brilliant, thanks. Any ideas why it works locally but not remotely without this?

Perhaps some sort of default setting on the local machine, or an XP vs. Server thing... I run into that particularly when trying to determine the logged on user.
