FP2002 Inserts form tag

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I posted before about not being able to view .aspx pages
after saving them in FP, and since then I've found that
it's because when I click Save in FP, it inserts a /form
tag. How do I make FP stop inserting that /form tag?

*I went to Tools > Page Options > General and
unchecked "~Automatically insert form field tags" and HTML
Source and set it to "~Preserve HTML"

Do you mean you can't view them in your browser? ASP.NET files need a
</form> tag but it also need the <form> tag to include runat="server", ex:
<form runat="server">. All tags in ASP.NET need a closing tag so you can't
get rid of it.

This is unusual. I tried opening a new blank Web page and
saving it with an .aspx filename extensions, and no
<form> tag appeared.

What version of FrontPage are you running?

Does your page contain any runat="server" form fields?

Does it contain any other runat="server" tags?

Is this a Windows SharePoint Services Web, or a FrontPage
Server Extensions Web, or what? (If you're not sure,
choose Web Settings or Site Settings from the Tools menu,
click the General tab, and report the value following
Frontpage Server Extensions Version.)

FrontPage 2002, FP Server Ext 5
Yes, the aspx pages have a few runat="server" tags. Here's
some code:

<body id="BodyTag" runat="server" class="GeneralPage">
<form id="Form2" method="post" runat="server">
</form>

That last </form> tag is what get's inserted when I save.
I can delete it, click Save, and watch it appear before my
eyes. It shouldn't be there. If I go back with notepad and
take it out after saving, it works fine. I didn't write
the pages; they are part of StoreFront 6 software. I can
go to another computer with FP2002 and save fine. I've
un/reinstalled FP and .NET. It USED to not do this, until
something got changed, apparently. There was no upgrade or
major change that I know of that could have changed
settings.

If you have <form runat="server"> then you'll get a </form> tag and you
shouldn't delete it if you want the page to work.
