Aaaargh! FrontPage is taking over formatting my ASP script...

  • Thread starter Thread starter mj.redfox.mj
  • Start date Start date
M

mj.redfox.mj

Is there any way of stopping FrontPage from turning this...


<%' ============ FOOTER SECTION ============ %>
<%' ======== See webs/template/readme.txt ======== %>


....into this...

<%' ============ FOOTER SECTION ============ %><%' ======== See
webs/template/readme.txt ======== %>


....when I save it (and many similar occurrences)? Why on earth does it
have to remove the line break between the two lines of vbScipt, which
is very much there for a reason?

I would be very grateful for any advice as this is driving me nuts.

Change it to this and it'll stay put!! The <br> is a return.

FP will leave it alone after you have saved it in code view that way
- until you do a reformat html (FP does not respect script formatting)

Change the above to:

<%
' ============ FOOTER SECTION ============
' ======== See webs/template/readme.txt ========
%>

It shouldn't reformat those two lines and it will make the server
side processing a little easier on the server. Why you'd only
want comments for the server side stuff I can only imagine.
Hopefully you left something out on purpose.

Good luck.
