ShauNotDeaD Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I know this is a pretty newbie question, but I just got hired by a small company with an advanced website. Their site is mostly in .asp, but they have been here forever and hardcoded all the .asp. I, however, want to use the GUI and create my pages faster, so here's my problem:When I try to switch to design view, I get the error "can not switch to design view because of errors in the page". I check all the cannot switch errors and correct the easy ones. The ones I can't correct are those that say "</table> cannot come before <table>" and "<html> not found in file". The reason you don't find the html tag is because it is in the toolbar that scrolls the top of every page. Browsers know this because the server includes them with <!-- #include "default_intranet_library_toolbar.asp..." etc. (Every intranet page is also on my machine in inetpub/wwwroot/... etc. and that's how I access them via browser: http://localhost/intranet/... etc.Surely, there's a solution. How do I get .NET to work it out like my browser can do?First post and thanks for any replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Are you using Visual Studio 2003??? If so it is a bug in the program.Post the FULL code of this page and I'll tell you if it the bug that is causing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspnetguy Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 have you used functions made like that before??? I doubt that would work.Not to be iopinionated but your style of coding breaks about everything ASP.Net stands for. You are using classic ASP scripting style which really defeats the purpose of switching to .Net.Since you have vs 2005 start using the code behind and having it compiled. You will get code that is faster and easier to manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, no toolbars then...Thank you aspnetguy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
