    You have to pass the styles etcc on your webage to CSS , call the class on you aspx page and you have to Check all the browser of your website Layout. so each browser suppose some features other not accept. so you have to check it most of the browsers.

    Unfortunately, there is no quick fix to that problem.  IE 7 is not standards compliant.  Microsoft has put in a  lot of work to ensure that IE 8 is standards compliant.  IE 8 does have a number of modes that will allow it to work the same as IE 7.  In IE 8 you can press F12 to open the developer tools window and then have a play around with the Browser Mode and Document Mode settings.

    To get your application cross-browser compliant will unfortunately take a fair amount of work.  You will find that there are a number of differnece in how the browsers handle html, css and javascript.

    Expect it to be a painful process to get your website to be cross-browser compliant especially if it is a fairly sizable website.

    Every browser has its API's. for example Activex objects are with IE for mozilla it is xmlHTTP

    Few of the tags which works in IE may work differently or may not work with other browser.

    As far as i know MS has started to support that mozilla or any other browser from IE 8 onwards.

    The following link might help you. It gives a brief idea about the layouts. go through it.

    Different browsers have different interpretation of control attributes. this is because different browsers uses different engines to interpret stuff on the page.So when layouting your page then be sure to use CSS to position and styling the elements on the page for layout cross browser compatibility..... You can test your site by using the W3C Test ..

    You can also check this article below about cross-browser-compatiblity
