Response.Write with HTML

JontyMC · Jan 31, 2005

Whats the alternative to writing lots of:

Response.Write("<html>")
Response.Write("<body>")
.....etc

Is there a way to properly indent the code?

Thanks,

Jon

you can add tabs like this:
Response.Write vbTab & "<body>

Or you could do

<%
response.write("<html>") & vbcrlf
response.write("<body>") & vbcrlf
%>

or you could do

<%
response.write("<html>") & vbcrlf
%>
<body>

or

<html>
<body>

They all do the same thing...

or

response.write "<html>" & chr(10) & chr(13)

Generally, it's best to put the bulk of your HTML outside of asp tags, like this:

Code:

<%
Dim strVar
strVar = "Banana"
%>
<html>
<body>
<table>
    <tr>
        <td>Want a <%=strVar%>?</td>
    </tr>
<%
strVar = "Orangutan"
%>
    <tr>
        <td>How about a <%=strVar%>?</td>
    </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

In that way you can maintain your formatting. Response.Write is slower than just plain HTML, by quite a lot, and is even slower than HTML with embedded ASP (using the <%=thingHere%> tags).
