Ok, I'm getting very frustrated with vs.net 2003's autocorrect feature. It seems that vs.net reviews my asp.net html code and edits it to reflect what it feels is the propper way to format it.
In theory, this is a good idea however, more often than not, it throws off my entire page, so I have to constantly go back and undo what vs.net has messed up.
Is there some type of option I can disable in order to stop this from occurring?
Thanks in advance.

I am afraid this answer is "probably not".
There is some stuff under Tools | Options | Text Editor | HTML / XML | Format (and HTML Specific) that you can turn off.
If that doesn't fix your problems (and it probably doesn't) you're out of luck.
VS.NET 2003's HTML designer is so broken that it's almost unusable. What I used to do is drag a number of HTML controls on a page, do some basic formatting, then switch to code view and never switched back to design view for that page.
Unfortunately, this is how it is. VS 2005 is much and much better and hardly (if at all) has any of these issues. Worth the upgrade alone...
Cheers,
