Can't switch to Design View in VS.Net 2003

[Saber]

I've a repeater and here is a piece of HTML when I use, I can't switch back
to Design view:
<a href=default.aspx?id=<%#container.dataitem("id")%> Some Link</a>

I get this error message:
Could not open in design view. Place quotes around a '<% %>' used as an
attribute value or within a <SELECT> element.

well, actually I used <% %> as an attribute value, why I shouldn't?
would you suggest an alternative?

Try placing quotes around <% %> :-)
Like this:
<a href='default.aspx?id=<%#container.dataitem("id")% >'>Some Link</a>
