SYMPTOMS

CAUSE

The Script wizard in Visual InterDev 1.0 does not correctly parse several HTML tags. If the page has a <DIV> tag or the <Form> </Form> tags, the script wizard will crash.

Temporarily cut out the <Form> tag, use the Script wizard and re-paste the <Form> tag when finished.

Use the Script wizard on a blank page, generate the scripting code, then cut and paste the generated code into the target page.

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