Hi, perhaps my last post was a little long so I will post a new one that is
such a taxing read.

How come ASP.NET panels can't be edited in FP2003. In FP2k I could at least
apply styles and font colours etc to those funny little <?> boxes. I have to
do it all in code view now with FP2003. I have to search through all the
html to find a specific tag or area I want to edit as when I click on it in
design view the whole panel's code is highlighted. What a mission to just
add some colour or style. The panel is quite large (about 300 lines) so not
a quick job to find lots of little bits of stuffed up formatting that my
programmer has left for me to fix. Grumble, grumble, mutter, mutter.

Cheers again

Hi ya Chris,

<asp:Panel id="TourInfo" runat="server">
300 lines of code (mostly html)
</asp:Panel>

I can't edit anything between these tages in design view, FP highlights the
whole panel's code and, as I said, 300 lines of code in this panel (200
lines in the next one) means fixing small problems becomes a big task. This
is, by the way, is an ascx file but the same thing happens in a aspx page.
I'm wondering if I can use another tag that does the same thing that FP WILL
give me control over.

Oh well, off the shop to pick up Visual Studio .NET cos it looks like Web
Matrix, even the 'Reloaded' version, (ha-ha, someone at MS has a sense of
humour) does the same thing. If that doesn't help, I will be cracking any
future MS products ;-)
