    I am really disapponted with Visual Studio.net when trying to develop pure HTML. Found a lot of minor flaws and a major one. When I change anything in Design view it does a lot of changes in my code. For instance, it changes every instance of ä to ä. It doesn´t matter for a Windows user but it does for a Mac user. I have used JDeveloper in jsp, and the IDE tells you where you have errors in the HTML-code, but it doesn´t change anything. If the next C++ compiler will do the same, ie automatically change my source code, then bye Microsoft!

      You can turn off automatic formatting: Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> HTML/XML -> Format Adjust the "Auto-formatting" values as appropriate. Jon Sagara Hi! I'm Melanoma, Moley Russell's wart. -- Uncle Buck

Stick to the code view and avoid clicking the "Autoformat/indent" buttons. The settings also do not help. p.s. There is a VS.NET issues forum on CP :)

              There is a VS.NET issues forum on CP Yes, I know. But I was only complaning and not seaching for a solution. The Lounge is the appropriate forum for complaints, isn´t it? :)

I don't want to get too serious here but you will get a better response from the specific forum than from the Lounge. This is a more relaxed place, where you complain about non-specific things. If you want to rant, then the Soapbox is the place :) Not serious though, ok? :)

                  Does it help if you do not specify a character encoding? If you specify ISO-8859-1 for instance, then ä is a valid character in that encoding system. If you specify the character encoding, it doesn't matter if you use ä - the browser has enough information to interpret it. -- "And God said, Let us make man in our image"

                    I agree totally - the fact that design view destroys your code is a disaster. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002
