HTML Special Characters & VWD Intellisense10/23/2006 2:08:40 PM

0/0

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me.  I have only just recently switched to using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition from Dreamweaver MX 2004 and I've noticed that when it comes to entering HTML special characters, I have no intellisense (that's intellisense, not intelligence, or at least I think it is).

For example, when I am in Dreamweaver MX 2004 (Code view) and I type "&" I then get the hint pop-up suggesting all the HTML special characers (&quot; &amp; &lt; etc...) but the same doesn't happen in VWD Source view.

I'm wondering if this is correct or if there is some setting that I can change so that I start getting hints for these characters.  I work with sites in Icelandic, so it'd be a real benefit if I could figure out a way to do this, without having to memorise all the special characters.

Thanks

Unfortunately, IntelliSense in Visual Web Developer does not extend to HTML character codings. :-(

VS is fully Unicode. You can simply type in Icelandic (or in any language for that matter) and save page in UTF-8. As a matter of fact, VS will automatically save file in UTF-8 for you. This way you don't really have to use entities.
Thanks

Shucks!  Thanks Mike.  I was afraid of that (one up for Dreamweaver I say...)

Thanks Mikhail, you're right - I had thought if I didn't use these entities, then my page wouldn't validate as correct HTML.  But the problem was Dreamweaver sets the following meta tag:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

so they weren't validating.  When I removed this, they validated...  However, as I'm using an English keyboard, I do find it quicker to just use the prompted "&eth;" than try to remember the key codes which generate "ð" for example, or go through the hassle of having to keep changing my keyboad layout to Icelandic.  I just think it's a shame that VWD doesn't have intellisense for these entities when they have intellisense for everything else!

Charset meta is really not necessary if file is saved in UTF-8. UTF-8 files have special signature in the beginnging and browsers respect it and ignore charset information if UTF-8 signature is present in the stream. Also, remember that ASP.NET runtime ignores META tag, it does not look into charset specified there. It only looks at the file signature, if any present and into web.config fileEncoding attribute. Therefore, charset META is more or less useless when developing in ASP.NET.
Thanks
