VS.NET keeps reformatting my html! This is driving me nutts!

[bebblebrox]

Good Morning,

So I this snipit of code from one of my pages:

<tr>
<td class="sectionHeader1" style="background-image:url("images/text-1.jpg");">
<div style="margin-left:18px">My Name Here</div>
</td>
</tr>

which does exactly what i want it to do in any text editor. and when i first load it up in VS.NET it looks fine. However, if i make any changes i'll get this error alert (from VS.NET) when i try to compile:

Could not format the document due to line 86. The original format has been restored.


I click OK on that error message (my only option) and when the page loads it's all messed up. When I go back to my code, the orginal snippit looks like this:

<tr>
<td class="sectionHeader1" imagestext-1.jpg?) ;?>
<div style="MARGIN-LEFT:18px">Richard W. Price</div>
</td>
</tr>

in addition to this block of code being screwed up, any blocks where i use the style attribute to set the background image gets messed up.

any idea what's going on here?

thanks,

rp

VS.NET 2003 reformatting your HTML is a known problem, and will be fixed in VS.NET 2005. For now, don't flip back & forth between HTML view and Design view.

Can you use single ticks around your image path? That might help.

thanks tgreer & thehms, i've tried your solutions but they, unfortunatly, don't work. i've found other info about the "known bug" which does exist and is making my life hell today.

cheers!
