BUG: Design-Time Controls Are Not Shown in Design View

ID: Q191042

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When viewing a page in Design view, one or more design-time controls (DTCs) are not shown.

CAUSE

This is caused by malformed or incomplete text in a script block that precedes the DTCs.

RESOLUTION

Correct the malformed or incomplete text. It is also good programming practice to enclose the content of client-side script blocks within HTML comment tags. Following this practice will minimize the likelihood of encountering this issue.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The menu command "HTML|Script Block|Client" will create an empty script block that is properly enclosed by HTML comment tags.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Open a new HTML page in Source view.

In the HEAD section of the page, type this:
```
      <SCRIPT> <m' </SCRIPT> 
```

Drag a Button DTC from the Toolbox into the BODY of the page.

Switch to Design view.
