Tip#66: Did you know... how to insert quotes values automatically while typing the attrib values?

  • Artikkeli

It's a nice time saver if you would like the HTML editor to automatically add quotes for the attribute values while you are typing.

To set this option select Tools->Options. Check Show all settings. From the left pane select Text Editor -> HTML -> Format and check the insert attribute value quotes when typing checkbox.

Now as soon as you hit "=" for the attrib value, editor will insert a pair of quotes and show the intellisense for the values accepted.

Select a value from the intellisense and press enter/tab. Cursor would jump out of the pair of quotes (you will have to hit the arrow key after entering the attrib value, if it doesn't show up a list of values).

    Thank you for posting this! I kept saying to myself...there HAS to be a way to make it put the quotes in automatically. I honestly have no idea why this isn't turned on by default.

    I use this setting since VS2005. I always wondered why isn't this the default setting?

    This is a great feature except there is a VS bug (that I have reported on MS Connect but has since been closed as non-repro) that has been plaguing me for years across 4 different dev boxes where this setting mysteriously defaults to disabled!

    This should have been a default setting. Nevertheless, a good time saver. Thanks for sharing.
