HTML in label

[Danny]

Hi,

I've run in to a problem that I can't seem to find a solution for. We want to set the label for a RadTextBox with HTML code, like this

Name <span class='required'>*</span>

We use this to give the required star a different color / style, we set it like this from the code behind:

txtT.Label = Required ? string.Format("{0} <span class='required'>*</span>", value) : value;

However the problem is the the html code is not rendered as HTML, but as readable text showing us this label in the browser.
So it shows us: Name <span class='required'>*</span>
Instead of: Name *

How can I solve this and make the label write the HTML as I set it?

Thanks,
Danny

Hello Danny,

<asp:Literal ID="a1" runat="server" Text=" <b> jay </b> esh"></asp:Literal>

Hi Jayesh,

Thanks for you reply, but how does a Literal solve this problem?
I can't place a literal in the RadTextBox label, that would be nesting a asp control in a string property.

Danny

Could anyone please help me with this, or give me a definitive answer if this is possible or not?

Hi Danny,

One suggestion is that you can add a different class to the last element using Jquery as follows.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" LabelCssClass="LabelClass" Label="Name*"  >
</telerik:RadTextBox>

JS:

$('.LabelClass').each(function ()
  {
     var $this = $(this);
     var sin = $this.html();
     if (sin.length < 1) return;
     var sout = sin.substring(0, sin.length - 1) + '<span class=required>' + sin.charAt(sin.length - 1) + '</span>';
     $this.html(sout);
  });

Thanks,
Princy.
