title: View ASPX page in Web browser
body: <p>I have the following .aspx page, and I want to view it in web browsers such as IE or Google Chrome by opening it directly in those browsers:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1._Default" %&gt;
  
  &lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
  
  &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" &gt;
  &lt;head runat="server"&gt;
      &lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
      &lt;form id="form1" runat="server"&gt;
      &lt;div&gt;
  
      &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/form&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But somehow the browsers can't render it. In IE, the error is </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Cannot view XML input using XSL style
    sheet. Please correct the error and
    then click the Refresh button, or try
    again later. A name was started with
    an invalid character. Error processing
    resource 'file:/</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;%@ Page Language="C#"AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1._Default" %&gt; -^*
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What did I do wrong?</p>
