Stupid Masterpages in VS2008 and Expression Web
Oi. Talk about frustrating. I'm playing with a template right now and converting it from a dwt to a masterpage. No big deal right? There should be two content sections on the page. A left column and a right column. Everything else on the page is static. During the design phase I'm using it for my own web site. In Visual Studio and Expression Web I get the following error when I look at the design view:
Here's the HTML: (Simple Right?)
1: <!-- Begin Left Column -->
2: <div id="column_l">
3: <!-- #BeginEditable "content" -->
4: <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cphLeft" runat="server" />
5: <!-- #EndEditable -->
6: </div>
7: <!-- End Left Column -->
8:
9: <!-- Begin Right Column -->
10: <div id="column_r">
11: <!-- #BeginEditable "sidebar" -->
12: <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cphRight" runat="server" />
13: <!-- #EndEditable -->
14: </div>
15: <!-- End Right Column -->
Huh? They don't have the same IDs. What can this error mean? When I delete one of the content place holders it shows everything perfectly. But here's the kicker. When I view the site in a browser with both content place holders it works fine. This is totally annoying.
