Hi guys

I am in a serious trouble.. I am trying to display the contents from a database in a div which is inside a <table><tbody><tr><td>.. The values are entered in BB code editor and if there is only plain text , a <pre> tag is added to make it readable.. But the presence of <pre> tag makes my design worse as am not able to wrap the text... Is there a way to remove <pre> and display the rest of the message.

But now the problem is that the word-wrap attribute of CSS is not functioning :(

I used Contains method in C# to find the <pre> and Replace Method to replace it ...But now the correct format is not maintained.. <pre> tag is used to maintain the format know but the problem is when i use <pre> tag my design wrecks is there a way to maintain the format and contain it in in my <div> in a reasonable way?

It's a string, so I do't know what you mean by 'maintain format'. If a pre was added, removing it will give you what you started with. Perhaps you need to explain more ?

You can just use the string.Replace method to remove the pre tag if you want to. I think you did that, but your comments have been deleted.
