Do you have an example of what you are trying to display, and how you are currently showing them?
Because without that, we have to guess what method you might be using, and then guess again what problem that might be causing.

"I wanted to show html tag in my asp.net form like if user type or <bracket> then it shuld there as it is. Tags are showing properly in IE chrome but not is Firefox. Is there special way to show?"

Yes - you have to do what is called HTML Encoding: if changes < to < and the latter then displays as the former! :laugh:

It's a bit of a PITA in javascript, but it is possible:
See here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1219860/html-encoding-in-javascript-jquery[^]
Which gave me this:

JavaScript

function htmlEscape(str) {
    return String(str)
            .replace(/&/g, '&amp;')
            .replace(/"/g, '&quot;')
            .replace(/'/g, '&#39;')
            .replace(/</g, '&lt;')
            .replace(/>/g, '&gt;');
}

function htmlUnescape(value){
    return String(value)
        .replace(/&quot;/g, '"')
        .replace(/&#39;/g, "'")
        .replace(/&lt;/g, '<')
        .replace(/&gt;/g, '>')
        .replace(/&amp;/g, '&');
}

Solution 2

How about the brackets I added to the text of your question? Are they angelic enough (in Firefox)? :-)

To take a close look, click Improve question.

Did you try something else?

Got the solution. I was setting the label value from javascript.
firefox use textContent property to set the value.

What's the difference if you type it or output with JavaScript?
All you need it the character references:

Will you accept the answer formally then?
