Visual Studio HTML IDE

C

Craig Hunt

Am I missing something here?

Quite frequently, I'll write an aspx document taking care to format the HTML
so that I and others on my team can read it. <sarcasm>We kind of like to
know what's going on when we come back to the document later.</sarcasm> In
any case, the editor, when switching from HTML view to the designer view
will do crazy things like completely remove all of the formatting in the
HTML as well as remove style and other attributes, and it will even remove
the quotes from the attributes it leaves in place.

I've checked the options for my IDE, and I've turned off HTML validation and
unchecked the Apply Automatic Formatting boxes. Is there another setting I
need to check to get the IDE to leave my HTML as I enter it. I'm really
getting tired of having to fix the IDE's screw ups because it REALLY doesn't
know how to write HTML.

TIA for any assistance.

Craig,

Unfortunately that is one of the common complaints with the Visual Studio
..Net IDE. I do believe that this is changed in Visual Studio 2005 which
is about to be released.
