This article was previously published under Q165892



SYMPTOMS
In an open document, when starting the Script Wizard from FrontPad (the Microsoft FrontPage Editor - Visual InterDev Edition) some or all scriptable objects do not appear in the Script Wizard.



CAUSE
The Script Wizard is incorrectly parsing the <!DOCTYPE> tag found at the very beginning of a FrontPage document. It is interpreting it as a comment. As a result, the comment is not closed until the Script Wizard encounters --> in the document. All objects between the <!DOCTYPE> tag and the end of the first comment in the document are then being treated as if they were within a comment.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual InterDev 6.0.



MORE INFORMATION
This behavior does not occur in the Visual InterDev source editor's Script Wizard.

The document is not damaged in any way by this behavior.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Open an HTML document in the Microsoft FrontPage Editor (Visual InterDev Edition).
 * 2) Note that in the two top panes of the Script Wizard, programmable objects that are in the document might not be listed.
