i’m creating a brand new masterpage with VS2010 Beta 2 and I get this warning (that causes me errors in the content pages):

Validation (XHTML 1.0 Transitional):
Content is not supported outside
‘script’ or ‘asp:content’ regions.

The masterpage’s code :

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Bob.master.cs" Inherits="TShirtFactory.Web.All.Core.lib.masterpage.Bob" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server">
    </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">

        </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

As you can see, it’s the default masterpage generated code. I get the warning when I hover the tag at top. Does anybody have an idea of what’s going on ?

Thank you

    It’s simple… Visual Studio is bonkers. Actually, the truth is that it can’t possibly validate some markup simply because much of it is dynamic. For instance, in my project I have a constant warning about the lack of a <title> tag because it’s added dynamically. Bottom line: the XHTML validator does not really know much about ASP.NET code.
