  • Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

The Script wizard in Visual InterDev may crash with the following error message when you click OK to close the wizard.

CAUSE

The Script Wizard in Visual InterDev does not correctly parse the <DIV> tag.

RESOLUTION

There is currently no way to use the Script Wizard on a file that contains the <DIV> tag. However, an easy workaround is to run the script wizard on a simple blank page entering the desired script, and then to open the page in Notepad and cut and paste the script code into the file that contains the <DIV> tags.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
