BUG: Outline Windows Do Not Show Items Made With Server- Side Script

ID: Q190680

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

An HTML tag that is constructed with server-side script will not be listed in either the HTML Outline or the Script Outline windows. (See the MORE INFORMATION section below).


CAUSE

Since the side effects of server-side script cannot be determined at design time, the parsing engine is unable to interpret HTML tags that are composed with server-side script.


RESOLUTION

If you want a particular HTML element to appear in the HTML Outline and Script Outline trees, do not use server-side script to compose the element's HTML tag.


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.
