One thing that has always infuriated me with .net is it’s insistence on adding an invalid name attribute to the asp.net form*.
About a month ago I found a nice easy cure for this, so I thought I’d share it. All you need to do to stop .net adding the name attribute to the form is add an xhtmlConformance tag to your web.config like so:
- <configuration>
- <system.web>
- <xhtmlConformance mode=“Strict” />
- </system.web>
- </configuration>
Hopefully that’ll be of some use to someone.
*What annoys me more is the fact you have to have a form tag on every page for .net to work, but that’s a rant for another day.
