Ken,
Wow - I owe you a huge apology. The last time I tested this, your solution of removing the offending line did not work (...wait for it...). However, upon further investigation I discovered that I had made yet another rookie mistake. It appears the Template.aspx file had been cached in the browser and I failed (epicly) to fully clear my cache.
Long story short, removing the line fixes the problem. I humbly apologize for the abrasive tone of my previous posts.
Nevertheless, for those lurkers out there who have this problem and would like to retain the code highlighting feature, removing this reference is not an option. I politely suggest fixing this for them.
ok I'm done. Thanks for the help!!
