VS DEsigner Moves HTML comments?

[Dave Mehrtens]

We are attempting to use both Dreamweaver and .Net to edit aspx files.

Dreamweaver uses HTML comments to embed proprietary information for it's
editor.

However, when we load these pages into VS.Net, the VS.Net designer will move
those commented lines such that Dreamweaver will not recongnize them
anymore.

For example - From Dreamweaver
</TABLE><div id="logoutLayer" style="position:absolute; width:76px;
height:14px; z-index:13; left: 14px; top: 135px; visibility: visible;"><font
size="+1"><a href="../LoginGUI/logout.aspx"><img
src="../images/logoutButton.gif" width="76" height="14"
border=0></a></font></div>
</BODY>
<!-- InstanceEnd --></HTML>


After VS.Net
</TABLE>
<div id="logoutLayer" style="Z-INDEX:13; LEFT:14px; VISIBILITY:visible;
WIDTH:76px; POSITION:absolute; TOP:135px; HEIGHT:14px"><font size="+1"><a
href="../LoginGUI/logout.aspx"><img src="../images/logoutButton.gif"
width="76" height="14" border="0"></a></font></div>
<!-- InstanceEnd -->
</BODY>
</HTML>

The "InstanceEnd comment is moved above the </BODY> tag instead of below it.

Any reason for this?

All I am referring to are comments. I am not familiar with the details of
the schema to say what is correct or not, but wouldn't you be able to place
comments anywhere you want?

!Microsoft, I would appreciate your comments on why the comments are moved in

Hi Dave,
This is a known issue with the Visual Studio .NET designer. Currently the
only work around is to manually move the comment tags back to the spot
above the HTML tag just before saving and closing the aspx file.

I appoligize for the inconveinence that this will cause you.
