interdev_programming thread: AW: Quote, unquote - How do I get InterDev to enclose attribute v


Message #1 by "Neethling, Dirk BYNI/PLM" <Dirk.Neethling2@h...> on Mon, 2 Oct 2000 19:23:24 +0200
Doug,

on the first issue, if your pages are to be XHTML conform, yes, you 
should
quote every attribute (and the tags should be in small NOT capital as
interdev does it). Interdev dosn't do this which is a drag. I know of 
no way
to get it to do this. The HTML will also display ok without the quotes.
