I use copysourceashtml, it works a treat. http://www.jtleigh.com/people/colin/software/CopySourceAsHtml/

The only changes i make to the defaults are to turn off line numbers (makes copy and paste a bitch), tick the 'embed styles' box, and if it's so long that i want it to scroll, i add "overflow: auto; height: 250px;" to the styles for the container div. Oh, and if i feel generous i make it set the tab indent to 2 instead of 4.

sweet, thanks Geoff!

I use CopySourceAsHtml too, but I really want to know how David Hayden does his fieldsets. Those are fancy!

Hi Ben

HTTP requests returning XML? That sounds like a web service to me! You should check out the webservice DHTML behavior, as it will manage all the mapping for you on the client end, and .NET's webservice infrastructure will manage all the Xml serialization on the server side. It is IE only :(

I wrote a user sample on GotDotNet ages ago that compared this approach with the async callbacks in ASP.NET whidbey (I like the webservice way much better), so if you'd like to see how to use the WebService behavior to call from client side have a look there. http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=fd6acac1-da45-446c-822d-5b2ecdb396a6
