syntax formatting driving me madd!

[sde]

i have turned off the html formatting for visual studio, .. but it keeps altering my table tags.

 

for example, it puts the </tr> immediately after a </td> tag instead of letting me keep it on its own line how i like it.

 

are there any secret settings to force it to stop? in the html options, i have everything turned off.

Did you try going to options, Text Editor, HTML/XML, HTML specific? There is some options about formatting there. There is also an option to keep it from automatically filling in the ending tag, I assumed that is what you need from your example, if that is not what you want sorry :).

thanks for the reply .. yes, have gone through all those settings.

 

the solution is simply NOT to go into design view =/

 

i keep a second instance of visual studio open with a scrap project, so i can add controls to the web form, and then copy the code it generates in the html view. lol .. sad huh... it's better than vs screwing up my html formatting though.

I do something similiar, I never go into the designer either.

Microsoft said that the new release of VS.NET will have a much better HTML designer. Also, they mentioned it will no longer mess with your code :).

That's great news! I hated MS moving my html code structure into uber long lines of code. Really tacky! lol
