Can't end url with response.write using C#

I am familiar with vbscript however converting to C# and trying to end a URL I have written with response.write. My code is below:

Response.Write("<a href= " + savePath + "</a>");

The URL works fine however everything on the page is linked to the URL. When I hover over the URL it has '/a' at the end ignoring the '>'.

Thanks for your help

thats not a proper anchor:

""

that's just messed up html, try this:

Response.Write("" + savePath + "");

It is often better to try to refrain from Response.Write, but if you have to do it that way, do not forget that you ahve to provide the full and correct HTML for it, including quotes and text:

Response.Write("" + "this is my link" + "");

you can replace "this is my link" with savePath or any text you want to appear as the link.

If you use C# you probably also use ASP.NET where you should use a runat="server" link with an ID and you can then set that object's href and text from the code behind. That way, the syntax will automatically be correct.

(retry, the RTE #$%^&* it up...)

Response.Write("" + "this is my link" + "");

you can replace "this is my link" with savePath or any text you want to appear as the link.
