It seems that the SingleImagePlaceholder always renders to three tags in the
following structure:
<span><a ..><img /></a> </span>
Is there a way that I can force it to not render the <a> tag?  Even when I
set the 'allow hyperlinks' property on the placeholder, I still get this <a>
tag.

Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,

to achieve this you would need to create a custom placeholder control that
derives from the original SingleImagePlaceholderControl.
In your custom placeholder control you need to override the Render method,
consume the generated html and remove the unwanted tags.
Then return the modified html as a result of the Render method.

This would look like the following:

protected override void Render(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter output)
{
if ((WebAuthorContext.Current.Mode !=
WebAuthorContextMode.AuthoringReedit)
&&(WebAuthorContext.Current.Mode != WebAuthorContextMode.AuthoringNew))
{
// catch the output of the original HtmlPlaceholderControl
TextWriter tempWriter = new StringWriter();
base.Render(new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(tempWriter));

string orightml= tempWriter.ToString();

// remove the unwanted tags
string newhtml = orightml.Replace(...);

output.Write(newhtml);
}
else
{
base.Render(output);
}
}

Cheers,
Stefan
