Newline with HTMLEncode in Div and Label

Hi

I have a table column that has multiple lines (\r\n) and html tags in it. I
want to display it in a div and label that html tags can be seen and
newlines should work.
If i use div.innerHTML newlines are lost and html tags doesn't show.
If i use div.innerHTML with replace(Environment.NewLine,"<br>") breaks works
but html tags doesn't show.
If i use div.innerText again newlines and html tags are lost.

What can i do?

ThanksVersus,
The bottom line is that "\r\n" means nothing in HTML - you have to change it
to "<br/>" -- which means you need to pre-process your string with
..Replace("\r\n", "<br/>");

Thanks for answering. Replace(Environment.NewLine,"<br>") already works for
that problem. But i cannot see html tags as regular text. I want them to be
displayed not parsed with htmlparser.

Let me explain again. I have an sql db table with columns that has both
environment.newline(\r\n) and html tags. I want newlines to break lines and
html tags to be displayed at the same time.

I think if you use the <pretag to wrap your code it will honor the CRLF
and show the tags as if they are text within the <pre></pretags.

Hope this helps

Actually, newlines may make a lot of sense when you want your HTML to
be easily understood if you do a view source on the html page ...

That's correct but the problem lies elsewhere.
If you update a <pretag with innerHTML, Internet Explorer will
remove the \n's before it's in the <pretag.
