ASP & HTML pages

Post by Chad M. Kovac »

How can I get the highlighting corrected in a line such as:
<td colspan="8"><input value="<%=FundingDate%>" CLASS="textBoxDark" id="txtFundingDate" name="txtFundingDate"></td>

Where I'm trying to get it to highlight the break in the string for VALUE and show that <%=FundingDate%> is actually code.. ? Since it's in a "string" I can't get it to recognize the <% portion.. There needs to be an option to allow TextPad to see inside string for specific characters such as "<%" and react as if it's back in code until a inside string break character has been reached "%>". Perhaps also an "Alternate string break character" as well allowing 2 strings to break and 2 strings to re-enter a STRING... hope this makes sense.

It appears that the original question and the response were somehow modified by the forum due to the html code that was included... *sigh*

The question was basically, in a line that contains:
"<%=Test%>"
The information inside the double quotes is shown as a string, but in ASP, the <%= should be highlighted as code... is there a way to do this?
to in a sense: Look inside strings for code?
