I don't understand your question. How can you display dropdown values without HTML?

This is my dropdown
<td>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlAcronym" Font-Names="Tahoma" Font-Size="12px" runat="server"
Width="300px" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource3" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="AcronymId">

</td>
My Sqldata source :

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource3" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DotNetNuke2ConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT AcronymId, [Name] FROM Crestron_Acronym ORDER BY [Name] ASC">

It is not well formatted. Don't post it here, use "Improve question", format to readability.
