ASP.net get the value of a div tag into a string variable

How would i get the value of the inner html of a html div tag into a asp.net variable

If i understand correctly, u need all the things that lie in ur div tag from code behind.

For that, put the attributes runat= "server" and id="div1"

n in ur code behind u can try like, div1.Controls

I did this in my html:

<div id="header1" runat="server"</div>

and tried this in my code

div1.Controls

and it did not know what header1 was.

HTML

<div id="IntroPar" runat="server"></div>

asp.net code:

strhtml = IntroPar.InnerHtml

That code returns "" for strhtml

raaziq

there is nothing in between the div tag... as per ur code...

so it will return ""

check and compare my code snippets given... and it gives wht ever there in between the div opening and closing tags
