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">
<%@ 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 > 4) {return false}">
<SELECT name="tmpSelect">
<OPTION<% If blnCheck Then Response.Write " SELECTED"%>>Default</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<IMG src="myImg.gif">
<%@ 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">
NOTE: Some of the ">" characters within the lines of code are replaced with ">".
