Hi
I'm a front and backend developer using .NET and it is certainly tricky to get those Visual Studio inserted items to validate. However there are some best practices for this. Use web controls with full control over the markup and the latest 3.5 version stuff certainly helps (FormView, CSS Friendly Control Adapters etc). It's not impossible and there's plenty of assistance available online. It does require more effort than just using the standard control toolkits supplied by Microsoft and there are a raft of Control providers (eg Telerik) that help. Basically, once those techniques are learned, they can be adapted to suit any site. Additionally, there are best practices available which enable the placing of the server generated javascript to one area of the page (after the html) and JSON/AJAX/MVC Framework techniques which can also help. .NET gets a lot of criticism for this and often justifiably but really it's just a tool and you know what they say about workmen and their tools.... Validation isn't just the province of the PHP/LAMP crowd.

Its possible but its hard work1 Visual Studio changes case on things like "onClick" etc and whilst they are not biggies they are frustrating. As Chris pointed out it pumps out heaps of script and getting it to write out nicely formated form controls can be frustrating. Those templates look interesting, thanks Tatham. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
