Placeholders: getting inner HTML.

[Caradog]

Hi, I'm trying to get all the HTML written inside a placeholder control in an .aspx then, then duplicate it x number of times. E.g., this is my example placeholder below, I want to grab everything inside this control, maybe monkey around with it, then duplicate it a few times. Possible?

<asplaceHolder ID="plcTemplate" Runat="server">
<TABLE cellSpacing="1" cellPadding="1" width="165" border="1">
<TR vAlign="top" align="left">
<TD>Make / Model
</TD>
</TR>
<TR vAlign="top" align="left">
<TD>Category<BR>
Descripion
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</asplaceHolder>

Don't try to get the HTML just use the Controls collection of the placeholder.

You need to make copies of the controls prior to changing them. Use the CopyTo method of the Controls collection to save them in an array, change the controls there and then add them to the Controls collection of another placeholder.
