asp:form generates invalid code

Vaclav Jedlicka

Hi all

The code generated by the server side control asp:form generates invalid
code. The HTML tag FORM always contains attribute "name".

When I validate the page with the online validator
(http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/direct.html) it says that:

<form name="browse" method="post" action="browse_ employees.a ...
^Error: there is no attribute NAME for this element (in this HTML
version)

How can I prevent asp:form from generating this attribute?

Thanks in advance

Just validated the following HTML

---------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>

<title></title>

</head>
<body>
<form name="Asd" action="asd"></form>

</body>
</html>

-----------------------------------

It did not complain that <form> has a name.

You use HTML 4.01, I used 4.0, that is why I had the problem. I can fix my
problem by using version 4.01.

May I have another question? I am havening this problem with the validator
(even with HTML 4.01). The SCRIPT tag is generated by ASP.NET

<script language="javas cript">
^Error: required attribute TYPE not specified

Why would you care about all that?
There are about 95% of IE out there and a handful of other browsers.
I do knot know even one browser that requires to have TYPE.

Interesting. I haven't met any customers like this. I hope they also request
that the application works...

Hello Vaclav,

I just did a quick search and found that it is a known issue. It seems
you're out of luck. The RenderPostBackS cript method implemented in the Page
class is declared as
private and it has the "<script language="javas cript"> string hard-coded
into it. Also there are other methods that will output the script tag this
way so as a quick and workaround you could override the rendering of the
Page and do a search & replace operation (<script language="javas cript">
----> <script type="text/javascript">) before rendering the contents.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any problems or concerns.

Have a nice day!

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
