While using ASP.NET controls, for example

<h1 id=header runat=server>text</h1>

if we want to change the text of the header we can do it probably by two properties InnerHTML and InnerText. I want to know what is the basic difference between the two properties?

InnerHtml lets you enter HTML code directly, InnerText formats everything you put in there for it to be taken as plain text.

For example, if you were to enter this in both properties: Hello world

This is what you would get with InnerHTML:

Hello world

That is, exactly the same HTML you entered.

Instead, if you use InnerText, you get this:

Hello world

And the resulting HTML would be Hello world
