Nathan,

That's a well known Design View problem.

1. Minimize using Design View.

2. If you still need it, press Ctrl Z (Undo) every time you switch back from
Design to HTML. In most cases this will restore previous html layout.

I am trying to choose for myself, but Visual Studio won't let me. Every time
I switch between Design and HTML views, it reorganizes the code in HTML
view. It also does this when I initially open a file. Just like everyone
else, I have my own ways of organizing code. I won't get into the details of
it here, but one of my most important rules is to never spread an individual
tag over multiple lines. I use this rule because tags that are spread over
multiple lines increases the amount of scrolling necessary. It also makes
the indentation often used for markup languages and other languages that use
tags less efficient because not all lines start with a tag and the amount of
vertical space between an opening and closing tag is increased. And in case
you haven't noticed, when code is printed from Visual Studio the lines
automatically wrap to fit the printer (as they will with most text editors,
some just don't display a "wrap-around" symbol like VS), so spending time
worrying about what my code will look like when printed is pointless,
especially since code is almost always edited on screen.

This is a well known issue and cannot really be fixed in VS 2003.
You have to work around it.
Some people never switch.
Others use Dreamweaver and copy paste changes.


Fixed in VS 2005. No more re-writing HTML.
