Vertical Split View

Menu:  Tools -> Options -> HTML Designer -> General
Versions:  2008,2010
Published:  12/5/2010
Code:  vstipEdit0081

However, you can change this by going to Tools -> Options -> HTML Designer -> General and selecting "Split views vertically":

 

 

Now the Split view will tile the panes vertically:

 

NOTE:  When you do this, you may have to close and reopen some files to see this take effect.
