Problems creating head section - Unrecognized tag prefix or device filter 'asp'

jeroen.luursema

Hi All,

I've been using a asp-label in the HTML <headsection for quite some
time in order to dynamically generate meta-keywords,-description, css
and js references.
Though the actual HTML-output isn't that pretty (<span>'s in the
head-section...) it works fine with browsers, crawlers. It never REALLY

was an issue...

However, in VS2005 this method is considered to be an error
"Unrecogniz ed tag prefix or device filter 'asp'". I do understand it's
because the label is not placed within the <FORM>, etc, etc...
Still, Is there a good reason why "suddenly" the method is thought to
be an "Error"?
Will it have any consequences, now or in the near future if I just
ignore the error-warning and continue using the method?
If NOT, can I filter out this specific error from the error-list
(Without loosing the "Unrecogniz ed tag prefix or device filter
'asp'"-error for other occasions)?
If YES, is there a good alternative available?

The MSDN solution
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...9a042924-3a16-...

is just another way of creating the same problem.
I did quite some searching/trying out myself, but all option had their
disadvantages so far...

The desired solution would be something like this:
<head id="PageHead" runta="server"i n the .aspx file, and in the
codebehind something like:
HtmlGenericCont rol pageHead =
(HtmlGenericCon trol)this.Page. FindControl("Pa geHead");
pageTitle.Inner Text = "page-title, Meta/etc-stuff in here";

This works great, and it also removes the annoying
<meta content="Micros oft Visual Studio 7.0" name="GENERATOR ">
<meta content="JavaSc ript" name="vs_defaul tClientScript">
<meta content="http://schemas.microso ft.com/intellisense/ie5"
name="vs_target Schema">
from the head section!

However, somehow a second (empty) <title></titleis inserted just
before </head>!
It, needs no explanation that this is unwanted behavior...
Is it a ASP.Net issue or a CMS-feature?
Does anyone know why, how and when this is happening?

I really want to move our VS 2005 solution to runtime, but feel
uncertain about the current situation (as described on top of this
post).

I'm using VS 2005 prof. edition on a Windows Server 2003 with MCMS 2002
enterprise SP2...

Any help would be much appreciated!

Popup problems

by: Sharon | last post by:

Hi y'all, I'm trying to create a customized context menu using the DHTML Popup object. The HTML that makes up the body of the popup is created in a variable named 'popCode'. Works like a charm, except when I call a function in an onclick it gives an 'object expected' error. Here's the popup function (dopopup) and the function I'm calling (renderData): function dopopup(Value,Field,x,y) { popCode=''; popCode+='<html>\n<head>\n';

Creating templated websites in asp.net -- i need feedback

by: Hasani \(remove nospam\) | last post by:

The way the system works is, you create a user control (ascx) that will be a template and must implement the interface IPageTemplate. You then create one or more user controls (ascx) that implement the IPageContent interface. A page (aspx) must then be created that loads (using Page.LoadControl) the page template, and the page content. The page content adds itself to the page template. The page template is then added to the aspx's control...

.Net 2, asp:Literal outside a server form = unrecognized tag prefix

by: Tim_Mac | last post by:

hi, i have a master page, and i want to put an asp:literal control in the <head><title> section. but it won't build because it says it's an unrecognized tag prefix. if i put the control inside a server form it works fine, but i probably don't want to move the server form to encapsulate the body element, since that would not be a correct html structure. any ideas?
