BUG: Visual InterDev 6.0 HTML Encodes Source (255831)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0
This article was previously published under Q255831 SYMPTOMS
When a file is opened to be edited with Visual InterDev 6.0, source code characters are encoded with their HTML variable equivalents. For example, the following code:
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<INPUT type="button" value=" Sample " onclick="if (intTemp > 4) {return false}">
<SELECT name="tmpSelect">
<OPTION<% If blnCheck Then Response.Write " SELECTED"%>>Default</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<IMG src="myImg.gif">
</PRE>
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<INPUT type="button" value=" Sample " onclick="if (intTemp > 4) {return false}">
<SELECT name="tmpSelect">
<OPTION<% If blnCheck Then Response.Write " SELECTED"%>>Default</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<IMG src="myImg.gif">
is replaced with this code:
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<INPUT type="button" value=" Sample " onclick="if (intTemp &gt; 4) {return false}">
<SELECT name="tmpSelect">
<OPTION<% If blnCheck Then Response.Write " SELECTED"%>&gt;Default</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<IMG src="myImg.gif">
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<INPUT type="button" value=" Sample " onclick="if (intTemp &gt; 4) {return false}">
<SELECT name="tmpSelect">
<OPTION<% If blnCheck Then Response.Write " SELECTED"%>&gt;Default</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<IMG src="myImg.gif">
NOTE: Some of the ">" characters within the lines of code are replaced with ">".
