STYLE Tag Errors in ASP.NET 2.0

[Matt]

Okay I am really confused here. I understand that Microsoft created
stricter rules on the HTML source in the new release of VS 2005 but here is
my situation and I really don't know where to go. I have an application
with 3rd party controls and they create STYLE tags in their perspective
areas. The new rule states STYLE tags should only exist in the HEAD tag and
I understand that but I do not have control over where a purchased component
places this tag so when I switch to source view I can't get back to design
mode without the dreaded message, "Can not switch to Design mode. Please
correct errors". Well there are not any errors and I have tried turning off
validation and everything else without any luck. Can anyone please tell me
how to work on my application in VS 2005 without destroying and recreating
the web form every time?

Thanks,

Matt

I'd say the developer of the control has to rewrite the control to conform
to CSS specifications.

I've noticed all of the HTML in the VS2005 source is squiggled with red
underlines indicating conflicts with XHTML 1.0 Transitional yet it is VS2005
itself that is emitting the invalid HTML into the IDE. This is very
distracting and I have no idea how to resolve at the moment.
