turn off auto-renaming of html elements' id in visual studio 2012

in the situation when i have conditional server code, visual studio keeps auto-renaming the duplicate id's.

here's a valid example:

<% if x = 1 then %>
<input type="hidden" id="hello" value=""/>
<% else %>
<input type="hidden" id="hello" value=""/>
<% end if %>

when visual studio's live error checking finds this, it will change my code without confirming with me to the following:

<% if x = 1 then %>
<input type="hidden" id="Hidden1" value=""/>
<% else %>
<input type="hidden" id="Hidden2" value=""/>
<% end if %>

how do i turn this off? i don't mind turning off the whole live error checking even. i don't know where to toggle this "feature" though.

thank you for reading my question,

Go into Tools -> Options

Scroll down to Text Editor. Expand it, then select HTML and expand it. Then click Miscellaneous and you should see the following.

Deselect the first option and try it.
