If I have <HTML Tags> stored in a record in my database, but I want them displayed as regular text on a page how would I do this?

The record has like <head> tags in it. These tags get treated as HTML code and aren't able to be displayed on the page as written text.

Any advice? Anyone need clarification?

Thanks!

If I understand you correctly string replace the carrots ">" & "<" into their corresponding html characters:

theString = Replace(htmlCode, "<", "&lt;")
theString = Replace(theString, ">", "&gt;")

Hope that helps.

I think what you want is Server.HTMLEncode("string").
