html code of web controls

is there any way i can get the corresponding HTML code of a web control?

For example, i have an asp.net table with w/ one row and one cell with the text "sample". I want to get this string:

"<table><tr><td>sample</td></tr></table>"

Is this possible?i guess you could put the web control on your page, press the run button,then right click on the webbrowser,nd in the context menu click view source, you can find the html code for you control there
Yeah, but I need to retrieve the html code from the program. Anyway, I have already solved it. Here's the code I used:

//returns the html code of the specified web control
public static string RenderHTML(System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl control)
{

StringBuilder SB = new StringBuilder();
System.IO.StringWriter SW = new System.IO.StringWriter(SB);
System.Web.UI.Html32TextWriter htmlTW = new Html32TextWriter(SW);
control.RenderControl(htmlTW);
string html = SB.ToString();
return html;
}

HTML 101 Position image relative to GridView row

This seems like it should be simple and I am pretty sure I've done similar
things a hundred times before but I sure can't seem to get it right this tim
e.
I have a GridView with a column of text boxes. If I want to position an
image over the GridView just below, for instance, the textbox in row 4 of th
e
GridView. I don't care that it covers the other textboxes. I am
successfully obtaining the textbox and the image objects in client-side
javascript using document.getElementById().
I can position the image just fine. I just can't seem to get the position
of the chosen textbox relative to the screen or client area of the browser.
textBox.offsetTop = 2 // this seems to be the position relative to the cell
in the table of the rendered GridView
textBox.clientTop = 2 // this seems to be the position relative to the cell
in the table of the rendered GridView
textBox.style.pixelTop = 0
textBox.style.top = // empty

Anyway, what my original post left out is what it is I am looking for:
Can anyone help me with how to get the location of an item in a GridView
row, in my case the textbox, in relation to either the document or in
relation to the client area of the browser so that I can position my image i
n
relation to that textbox?
Thanks,

I solved my own problem. The solution is to add a POSITION style value of
"relative" to the textbox. Then offsetTop and offsetLeft provide real value
s
relative to the client area.

HTML 101 Position image relative to GridView row

This seems like it should be simple and I am pretty sure I've done similar
things a hundred times before but I sure can't seem to get it right this time.

I have a GridView with a column of text boxes. If I want to position an
image over the GridView just below, for instance, the textbox in row 4 of the
GridView. I don't care that it covers the other textboxes. I am
successfully obtaining the textbox and the image objects in client-side
javascript using document.getElementById().

I can position the image just fine. I just can't seem to get the position
of the chosen textbox relative to the screen or client area of the browser.

textBox.offsetTop = 2 // this seems to be the position relative to the cell
in the table of the rendered GridView

textBox.clientTop = 2 // this seems to be the position relative to the cell
in the table of the rendered GridView

textBox.style.pixelTop = 0

textBox.style.top = // empty
