I have been beating my head against a wall for two days now.

I have developed a treeview control that reads in an xml file which
holds the information for building the tree. The nodes are hyperlinks
to other pages. I want to be able to include the inline code
<%Request.QueryString("CID")%>

I use the  htmltextwriter.write method to output the node.

The problem is: When I run the app, the link appears in the page fine
but when I roll over the link the url shows as:
http://mycomputer/xmlnodes/manageforums.aspx?CID=<%=Request.QueryString("CID")%>

Upon further testing, it appears that there is something going on with
the htmltextwriter.write method. I did a simple experiment with the
following piece of code:
htmltextwriter.write(<a
href='manageforums.aspx?CID=<%=Request.QueryString("CID")%>'>my
link</a>")

This produced the same result as above.

If I do " view source" from the browser, which opens notepad the
syntax for the link is correct. Furthermore, I can save that page with
a .aspx extension and load it into the browser and the link works
correctly.

Any ideas? This seems like something developers would want to do quite
often.

Hello Larry,

Instead of the string literals '<' use &lt; or &#60;

instead of '>' use &#62; or &gt;

Cyril,

Thanks for replying. I tried that and got the same results. I used:

htmltextwriter.write(<a
href=&apos;'manageforums.aspx?CID=&lt;%=Request.QueryString(&quot;CID&quot;)%&gt;&apos;'>my
link</a>")

any other ideas?
