VS 2008 Professional Inserts runat="server" on <tr> and <td> tags

Question

VS 2008 is changing my html in unexpected ways.  Is there a reason why it would place runat="server" on <tr> and <td> tags?  It was also giving each one an ID, but I got it to stop that somehow.  This is very annoying.  Please help.

Answer 1

Hi Jerry

Can you tell us the detailed steps you did and what you're going to achieve?

Thanks.

Figo Fei,

Curious that you should move my post to a "Do not post here area".

The steps are not clear and I gathered 3 top shelf developers from my group (I was the fourth) around me to witness this.  I think it was only happening when I was copying and pasting code into an AjaxControlKit panel control. It would take the table which I had pasted in and changed the <tr> and <td> tags to <tr runat="server"> and <td runat="server">

While we were standing there the screen filled itself with unbreakable spaces (&nbsp;) WOW!

Previously it was also including random ID="Tr01" identifiers in the code, but when I set the Options for HTML to not Auto ID Elements for Pasted Items it stopped that. That was horrible because it was not giving me unique values.

I thought someone was playing a joke on me, but that was not the case.

Sorry, I should have added a reply but the forum seemed not work well at that time: please use forums.asp.net for web development question.

Thanks for understanding.
