  Remove automatic line breaks from DataList

  Oct 17, 2006 12:44 PM|LINK

  Hi,

  Currently the DataList control I'm using is inserting link breaks between each item, even though I've specified no such thing.

  E.g.

  <asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" RepeatLayout="Flow">
                      <HeaderTemplate>
                          <ul>
                      </HeaderTemplate>
                      <ItemTemplate>
                          <li>
                              <asp:Label ID="DateTimeLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("DateTime") %>'></asp:Label>: 
                              <asp:Label ID="DescriptionLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Description") %>'></asp:Label>
                          </li>
                      </ItemTemplate>
                      <FooterTemplate>
                          </ul>
                      </FooterTemplate>
                  </asp:DataList>

    

  However the output I get is:

   
  <span id="JobsGridView_ctl05_ParametersDataList">
  <span>
  <ul>
  </span>
  <br />
  <span>
  <li>
    <span id="JobsGridView_ctl05_ParametersDataList_ctl01_NameLabel">GLLONDON            </span>: 
    <span id="JobsGridView_ctl05_ParametersDataList_ctl01_ParamValueLabel">LON            </span>
  </li>
  </span>
  <br />
  <span>
  <li>
    <span id="JobsGridView_ctl05_ParametersDataList_ctl02_NameLabel">COBDate             </span>: 
    <span id="JobsGridView_ctl05_ParametersDataList_ctl02_ParamValueLabel">20060124       </span>
  </li>
  </span>
  <br />
  <span>
  </ul>
  </span>
  </span>
   
  Notice all the unwanted line breaks <br /> (and also span elements but they don't bother me).
  How do I get the control to stop using the break elements?
   
  Thanks,
   
   
  Weiran.

  Set RepeatDirection property to Horizontal. Difficult problem, easy answer. :)
