DOCUMENT:Q192035 25-APR-2001 [vbwin] TITLE :PRB: Do Not Use a WebClass ProcessTag Inside an HTML Tag PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows PROD/VER::6.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbInternet kbVBp kbVBp600 kbWebClasses kbGrpDSASP kbDSupport ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows, version 6.0 - Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 6.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== A WebClass page does not display in the browser or is not displayed as expected. CAUSE ===== You cannot use WebClass ProcessTags within an HTML tag because the design- time parser does not interpret it correctly. RESOLUTION ========== The workaround is to use a WebClass ProcessTag for the entire HTML tag or do not put ProcessTags inside HTML tags. STATUS ====== This behavior is by design. MORE INFORMATION ================ Steps to Reproduce Behavior --------------------------- Notice in the code below from a HTML page that there is a WebClass ProcessTag called with an ending located within an HTML INPUT tag. This will not work because you have WebClass ProcessTag inside a HTML tag. Workaround ---------- 1. Place your WebClass ProcessTag within the HTML page, but not inside of a HTML Tag. For example: sss 2. Write code to process the ProcessTag in your WebClass ProcessTag procedure. Here is some sample code: Private Sub Template3_ProcessTag(ByVal TagName As String, _ TagContents As String, SendTags As Boolean) TagContents = "" End Sub REFERENCES ========== For additional information on WebClasses, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q189539 INFO: VB 6.0 Readme - Part 8 - WebClass Designer Issues A WebClass sample will be located at the following location when you install the MSDN samples: Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN98\98VS\1033\Samples\VB98\WcDemo\WcDemo.vbp Additional query words: ====================================================================== Keywords : kbInternet kbVBp kbVBp600 kbWebClasses kbGrpDSASP kbDSupport Technology : kbVBSearch kbAudDeveloper kbZNotKeyword6 kbZNotKeyword2 kbVB600Search kbVBA600 kbVB600 Version : :6.0 Issue type : kbprb ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
