I just realized today that I learned that trick about overriding span tags that wrap a custom server control about eight months ago, and probably another time before that. Is it age, stupidity, or just having to learn an entirely new technology every couple of years doing this to me?

Back then, I was writing a custom web part for a client's SharePoint installation. As you may or may not know, writing controls for versions earlier than SharePoint 2007 can be quite a bear, and these were no exception. That control was emitting tags that I didn't bake in, and I learned the technique back then too.

Any who, it was sure fun to re-live (and re-learn) that experience all over again. Yay.

Hey, careful with those sparklers. Happy Fourth!
