"Live Text" as it were

[Esmo2000]

I want to have a piece of text that I can click that will in effect, be 'live'. What I want to do is place an event handler on the text when it is clicked. Unfortunately, I cannot simply have it as a link. Thanks a lot, Jim

make it a link to another asp.net page that holds the code for what you want the text to do. Thats what i had to do in order to do binarywrite. I had a picture, and the pictures url was to another asp.net page that held the code for what i wanted to show up in the picture box.

A client side event handler or server side? For a client side handler, you could simply wrap the text in a span tag, such as: <span onclick = "myMethod()">Your Text Here</span> For a server side event, you may be well served using a LinkButton control. If not, I'd recommend that you consider making your "live text" a custom web control. To get started, you may want to take a peek at the interface IPostBackEventHandler in the MSDN documentation. Hope that helps a bit. :) --Jesse
