I don't understand your problem.
If your problem is that you want to create Html pages, go to the
File menu, then New, File, and select the HTML Page template.
Simply adding the "L" to the default .HTM filename lets you
build HTML pages and you'll have standard HTML objects
at your disposal which you can include in your HTML page.
Any HTML object which you insert will have a set of properties
which you can define in the Visual Studio Property box.
If you want to write JavaScript, you can do that, too,
although there's no additional help for that.
So, support for HTML files *is* there.
If your problem is that you want HTML files processed by
the ASP.NET engine, you *can* do that as I showed you.
I don't know of any way for Visual Studio to recognize custom
file extensions so that Intellisense, etc., work when a custom
extension is loaded ( Is that what you consider the problem to be ?).
You might workaround that by writing your code in an aspx file,
and renaming the file to the html extension when it's working.
If you setup the html extension per the instructions I sent you,
the pages *will* run, since your clients won't be using VS.NET
to run your pages, but their browsers.
Bottom line: VS.NET is behaving as it should, as I see it.
If you differ, please explain what you
would like VS.NET to do with HTML files.

The context error I am receiving is in Visual Studio 2005, and I am
trying to run the site using IIS. Do I need to do anything within
Visual Studio to support .html, or are my pages going to be
second-class citizens as with VS2003?
