ASP.NET adds invalid attribute to the form!!

[Alan Silver]

Hello,

I am just trying (and failing miserably) to massage my pages into valid
XHTML. One problem I am having is that the framework has added a "name"
attribute to the main form, and XHTML doesn't have a "name" attribute.

Anyone any idea why? The content of the master page looks like...

<form id="Form1" runat="server">

....and the resulting output looks like...

<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="Default.aspx"
id="aspnetForm">

Strict XHTML output requires configuration setting

Hi Alan,

I found this post helpful: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/09/03/424363.aspx. It discusses why ASP.NET renders this way, and what you can do about it.
