Help: Could not open aspx page in Design View

[Donnie]

Hello
I'm receiving the following error message when I try to view an aspx page in Design view
"Could not open in Design View. Quote values differently inside a '<%... "value" ... %>' block

Below is the html in the page using the <%..."value" ...%> syntax

<ItemTemplate><tr><td style="background:white;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" width="20%"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.ReportName") %></td><td style="background:white;" width="60%"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Description") %></td><td style="background:white;" width="10%"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.First_Name") %><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Last_Name") %></td><td width="10%"><a href="#" onclick="showReport(<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.ReportID") %>);">view</a> |
<a href="..\CustomReportMaker.aspx?id=<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.ReportID") %>&mode=edit">edit</a></td></tr></ItemTemplate><AlternatingItemTemplate><tr><td style="background:#E4EBF5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" width="20%"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.ReportName") %></td><td style="background:#E4EBF5;" width="60%"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Description") %></td><td style="background:#E4EBF5;" width="10%"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.First_Name") %><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Last_Name") %></td><td width="10%"><a href="#" onclick="showReport(<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.ReportID") %>);">view</a> |
<a href="..\CustomReportMaker.aspx?id=<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.ReportID") %>&mode=edit">edit</a></td></tr></AlternatingItemTemplate

Does anyone know how to fix this error? Maybe I'm missing something obvious
Thanks for any help or suggestions

Hmmm...

Looking at the following line:
<a href="#" onclick="showReport(<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,
"DataItem.ReportID") %>);">view</a>

You should single quote the onclick='showReport(<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.ReportID")%>)'

and any other place you use the same; If you have any Text="<%#
DataBinder.........%>" you will also want to replace those double quotes
with single quotes: Text = '<%# DataBinder........%>'

You also have some a href="" with the DataBinder encapsulated within them.
You'll need to replace the double quotes with single quotes there as well.

Hope this helps.
