Simple way to converting html tags to display in web pages

I think every one has tried at least ones to put some html code in your blog post. I tried several ways but finally I ended up replacing special characters like "<" and ">" with &lt; and &gt;

Following is a solution that you can easily integrate in to your web page. Include this javascript method in your header section.
function putInsidePre(txt,toPre){
var preText = document.createTextNode(txt);
document.getElementById(toPre).appendChild(preText);
}

and put the following style class in your css or just include them in a new >style< tag.
.codeStyle {
background-color:#EAEFF1;
border:1px solid #88BFCE;
color:#325669;
display:block;
font-size:11px;
height:200px;
line-height:1.5em;
overflow:auto;
}


Then you can create a 
 tag and give it a id and call "putInsidePre" method to populate it.

Here is a full working example.

<html>
<head>
<style>
.codeStyle {
background-color:#EAEFF1;
border:1px solid #88BFCE;
color:#325669;
display:block;
font-size:11px;
height:200px;
line-height:1.5em;
overflow:auto;
}
</style>
<script>
function putInsidePre(txt,toPre){
var preText = document.createTextNode(txt);
document.getElementById(toPre).appendChild(preText);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<pre class="codeStyle" id="codeBlock"></pre>
<script>
putInsidePre('<html><head></head><body>Content</body></html>',"codeBlock");
</script>
</body>
</html>

Using javascript to Include a html file inside another html file

When there is no server side functionality needed we create the whole site in plain html. Usually these sites have left/right side menu, top header, footer etc.. If the site grows in to 20, 30 pages, it will be a headache to do a simple change like changing footer text. We will have to change each page. If we were using a server side technology like PHP, JSP, etc.., we will have the chance to keep the common areas in the site in different pages and include these parts in each page using a “include” statements. We can do the same thing with the plain old html and javascript. But how? First you need to create the site main layout using divs and give them unique ids. <html> <title>HTML Includes</title> <script language="javascript" src="js/main.js"></script> <script src="js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script language="javascript" xml:space="preserve"> // <...

Overriding default look and feel of GREG - 5.3.0

Following list explains what are the best approach for different use cases. 1 ) - You created a new asset type, and you need to change the look and feel of the details page in the listing page just for that new asset type.
