How to avoid the SPAN in the dnn:TITLE

This is just an answer to a question posted on my twitter from @horacioj.

It's about how to avoid the SPAN and get a clean heading tag in a DNN container title.

Below you can see the code for a simple container that demonstrates exactly that.

 <%@ Control language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.Container" %>
 <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TITLE" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Title.ascx" %>
 <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="Actions" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Actions.ascx" %>
 
 <dnn:title runat="server" id="dnnTitle" visible="false" />
 <% Dim ModuleTitle As String = GetPortalModuleBase(dnnTitle).ModuleConfiguration.ModuleTitle %>
 
 <div class="common">
 <h3><%= ModuleTitle %></h3>
 <dnn:Actions runat="server" id="dnnActions" />
 <div id="ContentPane" runat="server" />
 </div>

I have to mention though that with this implementation, the inline title editing won't work.

Your note about inline editing is a good thing to pay attention too. But I have a site where I use Cufon and when a user edits the title it puts a bunch of canvas tags and other things in there. Had a client REALLY screw up a site that way.
