Ans 1) Use below function to strip HTML tag from your text.

SQL

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[udf_StripHTML]
(@HTMLText VARCHAR(MAX))
RETURNS VARCHAR(MAX)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Start INT
DECLARE @End INT
DECLARE @Length INT
SET @Start = CHARINDEX('<',@HTMLText)
SET @End = CHARINDEX('>',@HTMLText,CHARINDEX('<',@HTMLText))
SET @Length = (@End - @Start) + 1
WHILE @Start > 0
AND @End > 0
AND @Length > 0
BEGIN
SET @HTMLText = STUFF(@HTMLText,@Start,@Length,'')
SET @Start = CHARINDEX('<',@HTMLText)
SET @End = CHARINDEX('>',@HTMLText,CHARINDEX('<',@HTMLText))
SET @Length = (@End - @Start) + 1
END
RETURN LTRIM(RTRIM(@HTMLText))
END

Call function like this :

SQL

SELECT dbo.udf_StripHTML('TEST<br><br><a href="http://yoursite.com">yoursite.com</a>')
</br></br>

ans 2) Use overlib [^] or try jQuery plugins.

1)One way is to use string functions(depends on how your string is).
string.Replace("<div>","");</div> or indexof[^]
2)javascript tooltip[^]

solution for first question

what ever the html tag it is, it will be removed from the string using this function

take this

<div> Demo Patient </div>

in one string variable like this

string name="<div> Demo Patient </div>";

//add this function in your page

public string StripTagsCharArray(string source)
       {
           char[] array = new char[source.Length];
           int arrayIndex = 0;
           bool inside = false;

           for (int i = 0; i &lt; source.Length; i++)
           {
               char let = source[i];
               if (let == '&lt;')
               {
                   inside = true;
                   continue;
               }
               if (let == '&gt;')
               {
                   inside = false;
                   continue;
               }
               if (!inside)
               {
                   array[arrayIndex] = let;
                   arrayIndex++;
               }
           }
           string data = new string(array, 0, arrayIndex);

           return data;
       }

//call the function like this

name=StripTagsCharArray(name);

and finally

output is :Demo Patient

Answer to your second question:

//Javascript:

XML

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function showToolTip(e, text)
        {
            document.all.ToolTip.innerHTML = "<table><tr><td class=ToolTipTD>" + text + "</td></tr></table>";
            ToolTip.style.pixelLeft = (e.x + 15 + document.body.scrollLeft);
            ToolTip.style.pixelTop = (e.y + document.body.scrollTop);
            ToolTip.style.visibility = "visible";
        }
        function hideToolTip() {
            ToolTip.style.visibility = "hidden";
        }
</script>

//Look n feel for tool tip

XML

<style>
#ToolTip{position:absolute; top:0; left:0; right: auto;background:#fffedf;border-color:#000;border-style:solid;border-width:1px 1px 1px 1px;visibility:hidden; padding: 10px;}
.ToolTipTD {color:black; font-size: 10px;}
</style>

call the javascript function on mousehover wherever you want. For eg on row tag:
< tr onmouseover="javascript:showToolTip(event,"Put your data here.")" önmouseout="javascript:hideToolTip()"

Thanks,
Deepti
