Re: Question regarding W3C validator and ASP.NET

I never stated that what I posted was valid, I was merely trying to
illustrate the differences in the rendered markup that the same .aspx
template can generate given 3 possible configuration settings.  Let me
put it another way; the asp.net XML configuration file can have 3
possible settings

<xhtmlConformance mode="Legacy"/>

<xhtmlConformance mode="Transitional"/> 
<xhtmlConformance mode="Strict"/>
 
The rendered markup for each of these settings, respectively (with
'input' errors now corrected), is:
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head><meta http-equiv="Content-type"
content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"><title>
        Untitled Page
</title></head>
<body>
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="default.aspx" id="form1">
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE"
value="/wEPDwUJMTQ5ODEyODUyZGQ=" />
 
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTVALIDATION" id="__EVENTVALIDATION"
value="/wEWAwL7z8SCCAKsyrLrBgKs34rGBg==" />
    <p><input name="textbox1" type="text" id="textbox1" /></p>
    <p><input type="submit" name="button1" value="" id="button1" /></p>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
 
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head><meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"
/><title>
        Untitled Page
</title></head>
<body>
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="default.aspx" id="form1">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE"
value="/wEPDwUJMTQ5ODEyODUyZGQ=" />
</div>
 
<div>
 
        <input type="hidden" name="__EVENTVALIDATION"
id="__EVENTVALIDATION" value="/wEWAwL7z8SCCAKsyrLrBgKs34rGBg==" />
</div>
    <p><input name="textbox1" type="text" id="textbox1" /></p>
    <p><input type="submit" name="button1" value="" id="button1" /></p>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
 
 
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head><meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"
/><title>
        Untitled Page
</title></head>
<body>
    <form method="post" action="default.aspx" id="form1">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE"
value="/wEPDwUJMTQ5ODEyODUyZGQ=" />
</div>
 
<div>
 
        <input type="hidden" name="__EVENTVALIDATION"
id="__EVENTVALIDATION" value="/wEWAwL7z8SCCAKsyrLrBgKs34rGBg==" />
</div>
    <p><input name="textbox1" type="text" id="textbox1" /></p>
    <p><input type="submit" name="button1" value="" id="button1" /></p>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
 
 
So then, leaving aside semantics and pedantics, is anyone actually able
to answer my question... why does wrapping the input in a div mean that
the W3C validator ignores the id underscore rule?
