I started seeing huge amounts of error messages such as "Validation (XHTML
1.0 Transitional):" Element schema is not supported". There was nothing
wrong with that for 3 weeks and suddenly there is.
======check out this bug=========
OK: I have the following code and the phrase khaki is underlined in red as
VS8 thinks something is wrong:
<input id= .... height: 24px; background-color: khaki;"
<input id= .... height: 24px; background-color: khaki;"
the error message on hitting F5 is (there are two of them)
========two identical error messages about khaki being wrong=====
Error 68 CSS validation: 'khaki' is not a valid value for property
'background-color'.
C:\projects\Projects\R9619_NChannelDetection\VS200 5_WebSite\Default.aspx 323
==== BTW, khaki was correctly colored even though the error says it is
invalid=====
OK, i change the *FIRST* khaki to blue, now VS show the following error
message (note the mis-spelling of background)
Error 67 CSS validation: 'khaki' is not a valid value for property
'ackground-color:'.
C:\projects\Projects\R9619_NChannelDetection\VS200 5_WebSite\Default.aspx 323
====== VS8 improperly removed the letter "b" from the phrase
background-color
OK, I then renamed Default.aspx to d.bin and opened it up with wordpad. I
see about 10 strange japanese/chinese characters scattered about my source
code seemingly at random locations:

http://stateson.net/pub/bug2.jpg
I paste that strange character into notepad and try to save it and I am told
it is unicode and the formatting will be lost. OK, i see where encoding is
specified as utf-8 so possibly those character belong in my file? If so,
why are they seemingly at random location? Maybe I should get rid of them.
Some are exactly in the middle of a phrase, others are off by themselves.
For example, "VerticalAlign" the t is a strange chinese character. It only
shows up in wordpad. I dont see the "t". If I delete the strange character
then I am missing the "t" If I put a 't' back in, it shows up as a 't' and
not a strange character.
Also are they really there? I ran d.bin thru a hexdump "C" utility that
uses getch() and prints the hex value and where those strange characters
were (in Default.aspx), I only see spaces in my hex dump. None of those
characters show up. Nor do they show up if I use notepad to open d.bin,
only if I use wordpad to open d.bin (or Default.aspx)
====================bug continued==============
I go back to the first color: "blue" and change it to a color that has 5
letters instead of 4 and suddenly I now get the correct 'khaki' is not a
valid value for property 'background-color:'
====VS8 has now properly spelled background======
...anyway, I am clueless how to fix this. Probably will delete the entire
panel and/or work backwards to where all those error messages about "Element
xxxx is not supported" are gone.
