v2 & self-closing meta tags

Mark Rae

Hi,

Is there a way to prevent ASP.NET 2 from stripping off the self-closing meta
tags...?

E.g.

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1" />

is turned into

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1">

on my development machine, on my test box and on my live site hosted at a
remote ISP.

This is causing the site to fail XHTML validation.

Any assistance gratefully received.

Hi Mark,

That's odd behaviour. Is it possible that ASP.NET is detecting the test
client as a downlevel browser and doing something weird?

Maybe there's a way to tell the page to treat every request as an uplevel
browser to deliver valid XHTML?

Yes...

No idea...

Maybe there's a way to tell the page to treat every request as an uplevel
browser to deliver valid XHTML?

Again, I have no idea...

Is anyone else experiencing it...?
