    Visual Studio HTML IDE

    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

      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.

      Regards,
