Re: ASP.NET Internationalization bug?

Thanks, Juan.

I already added similar code to a page event in my masterpage code-beside.

elHtml.Attributes.Add("xml:lang",
Resources.GlobalLang.ContentAudienceLanguage)

To me, that is a temporary workaround. I still want to understand whether
the "eating" of the attribute I originally posted about is a bug, or if this
is actually happening for a reason.

Cordially,
Lee

Hi, Lee.

Try this :

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; runat="server" id="someID">

<script runat="server">
someID.Attributes("xml:lang") = "en-US"
</script>

I think I have discovered a bug in ASP.NET, related to I18N.

In ASP.NET 3.5 I have to set runat="server" on the html element to use
explicit expressions. It appears that ASP.NET
eats the xml:lang attribute on the html element when it is set to
runat="server".

Of course I want to replace the hardcoded "en-US" values with (resource)
explicit expressions; but, for simplicity,
try this:

<html runat="server" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US" dir="ltr">

...And you will find that no xml:lang attribute is rendered to the
browser! Remove the runat="server", and, voila, the
xml:lang attribute is rendered. :[

...Any ideas?

Cordially,
Lee
