Beautify ASP Code

[drbutterboy]

Can anyone recommend a good software tool to beatify asp code? I have soooo many nested elements that the finished code looks like a jig saw puzzle! Although, it works like a charm..

Thanks!

no such tool exsists other then good programming style

you'll need to run back through the logic and optimize the scripts in order to cahnge the style to "beatify" it

Define beautify?

If I squint hard enough all of my code looks like jigsaws too, because I indent for functional blocks, html inner elements, etc. maybe a jigsaw with wierd hairs becaue i also put 8 column length comment lines on top of my functions to break them up into easier findable blocks...

Here's an example: I have heard that there are software programs that will allign the beginning tags and ending tags like this:

Before:

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="5%">
<%objWC.WriteDateOptionSpecific%>
</td>
<td width="30%">
Specific Date
</td>
<td width="5%">
<%objWC.WriteDateOptionRange%>
</td>
</tr>

After:
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="5%">
<%objWC.WriteDateOptionSpecific%>
</td>
<td width="30%">
Specific Date
</td>
<td width="5%">
<%objWC.WriteDateOptionRange%>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Home Site has a codesweeper function that does this for HTML but it doesn't work for ASP.

Visual Studio .NET has a feature for this as well. It generally works pretty well but does not react well to all situations or code errors.

Nothing replaces the use of the tab key though!

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
