Using a C# variable as a table element

What I have is this:
<table>
<tr bgcolor="#007ACC" style="color:White">
<td width="145">Account Group</td>
<td width="80"></td>
<td width="10">Active</td>
</tr>
<tr>
·
·
</tr>
</table>
What I need to do is make it so "Account Group" can be changed based on a user's treeview selection. i.e., if the user selects a Child node, I need to change that to "Account Number".
Is it possible to change a table element on-the-fly like that? If so, how would I do this?

Place a label in <td> to display text, so that you can change them based on label id
<td width="145">
<asp:Label Text="Account Group" ID="lblUserContent" runat="server" />
</td>
As per treeview selection changes you can change the text by using following code:
if(your condition)
lblUserContent.Text="Account Number"
else
lblUserContent.Text="Account Group"

The best way to do this will depend on how you're using your treeview, but here's a quick way to output the value of a C# variable into your table:
<table>
<tr bgcolor="#007ACC" style="color:White">
<td width="145"><%# Eval("MyCSharpVariable") %></td>
<td width="80"></td>
<td width="10">Active</td>
</tr>
<tr>
·
·
</tr>
</table>

twitter bootstrap table css

i am developing an asp.net c# application using the twitter bootstrap framework.
i am trying not to add change or add any CSS so wanted to know the following
i have a asp.net gridview, which eventually renders as table. i wanted to know what is the css class to be applied for tables?
ASP.NET
C#
Twitter Bootstrap
<table cellspacing="0" rules="all" border="1" id="VideoList" style="border- collapse:collapse;">
<tr>
<th scope="col"> </th><th scope="col"> </th>
</tr><tr>
<td>Senior Care</td><td>
</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>Cardiac Catheterization Lab</td><td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
any ideas will be much appreciated.

Well the minimum styling can be added just with the "table" class. That is:
MyGrid.CssClass = "table";
Optionally, you can include additional table formatting such as
MyGrid.CssClass = "table table-striped table-bordered";
To see some more noticeable styling

Error in table when adding runat=server

I have a html table in my ASPX page and would like to use it in code-behind for some processing. The table is shown as below:
<table class="hovertable" id="tblData">
<tr>
<th>ID:</th>
<td colspan="3" style="font-weight: bold">
<%= Eval("ID") %>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Date:</th>
<td><%# Eval("Date", "{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}") %></td>
<th>Amount:</th>
<td><%# Eval("Amount", "{0:C}") %>
</tr>
</table>
However, when I add the runat="server" attribute to my table, I am produced with the following error:
CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlTableRowCollection.Add(System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlTableRow)' has some invalid arguments
Any ideas what may be wrong here? Am I missing out anything?

An html table (which is not a pure asp.net server control) can't contain asp.net server controls. Take a look at this answer:
http://forums.asp.net/t/1524580.aspx/1
In my opinion, you should ask yourself the following question?
Do i need to solve this client or server side?
if your answer is client, you should implement the update logic with Ajax, otherwise you could use the ASP.NET server control and implement it server side.

OK guys, I have solved this issue by myself. The problem causing it was because of a <td> not having the corresponding <tr> element.
It was something like below:
<table class="hovertable" id="tblData">
<tr>
<th>ID:</th>
<td colspan="3" style="font-weight: bold">
<%= Eval("ID") %>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Date:</th>
<td><%# Eval("Date", "{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}") %></td>
<th>Amount:</th>
<td><%# Eval("Amount", "{0:C}") %>
</tr>
<td colspan='4'>
Some data....
</td>
</table>

I think you can use this for the same purpose
<asp:Table ID="Table1" runat="server">
</asp:Table>
What you are trying to do is adding runat="server" attribute to a HTML control

Try adding <asp:Labels> where you need to manipulate data.
<table>
<tr><td><asp:Label id="lblRow" runat="server" /></td></tr>
</table>
Table columns and rows cannot be accessed via code behind if you have runat="server" in the tag because they are pure html.
Another way is to use a StringBuilder to create the html table in the code-behind and and asp:LiteralControl to output the table.

Also if we remove the tbody element it will not throw error for td mismatch

Convert a html table into an rss feed

I have a table similar to the one below which I would like to convert into an rss feed somehow. What is the best way to approach this? Should I be scraping the contents and trying to build up an rss or is there a much simpler annd easier way (I'm hoping)? I'm using the asp.net / c# - anyone point me to any tutorials out there that will help me achieve this would be great:)
<table align="left" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" style="width: 125px; height: 125px;" colspan="1"><img title="Costa Rica" alt="Costa Rica" src="/CR_sq.jpg?n=4185" /></td>
<td align="left" valign="top" colspan="1"><strong><font color="#fff" size="2">Costa Rica <br /></font><span class="SubHeadingGrey_7_0">16 August 2012</span></strong><br /><br />Some Text Here <a title="...read on" href="/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=1234">...read on</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" style="width: 125px; height: 125px;"><img width="117" height="117" title="South Africa" style="width: 117px; height: 117px;" alt="AL 2012 Icon" src="/SA2012.jpg?width=117&height=117&mode=max" /></td>
<td align="left" valign="top"><p><strong><font color="#fff" size="2">South African Story<br /></font><span class="SubHeadingGrey_7_0">16 August 2012</span></strong></p>
<p>This is summary text <a title="... read on" href="/SA.aspx">... read on</a></p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" style="width: 125px; height: 125px;"><img title="ITALY" alt="ITALY" src="/Italy.jpg?n=43" /></td>
<td align="left" valign="top"><strong><font color="#fff" size="2">Italian Article<br /></font><span class="SubHeadingGrey_7_0">15 August 2012</span></strong><br /><br />Italian Visit Article<a title="...read on" href="/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=1256">...read on</a></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

As long as the html is well formed and matches XML you can read it in as xml and then use XSLT to convert it to an rss feed using XslTransform here is a simple example of how to use xlsTransform http://www.xmlfiles.com/articles/cynthia/xslt/default.asp

How to access global variable in htm page - jtemplate(jquery)

I am using jtemplate(jquery) , in which i have a htm file as below
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2">
<tr class="dark_color">
<th>
Offer
</th>
</tr>
{#foreach $T.TransList as record}
<tr class="{#if ($T.record$index % 2) == 0} white_left {#else} dark_color {#/if}">
<td class="offer" align="left">

I am filling data using below code in my aspx page -
$("#jtemplateGrid_" + lastID).setTemplateURL('JTemplate/gridTemplate.htm');
// process the template
$("#jtemplateGrid_" + lastID).processTemplate(data)
;
Now i want to use global variable in my htm page.
How we can done the same.
Thanks in advance

What you could do is to send a get parameter with it and split it using JavaScript or whatever you'd like on the page to check up on it or use it.
Not clear on how it could be done otherwise but it is a possibility.
