Hello Guys

Everybody is talking about what they doing, what IE and what firefox mozilla is about. I'm doing my website and I had this trouble too. Nothing much I could do about it. So I searched and re-searched and finally come to conclusion that its a problem with IE and it needs its tags needs to be fixed because microsoft has underlooked cross browser functionality with asp.net

Now question who would do that? - Not me!!!!

Eventually I found this script at http://slingfive.com/pages/code/browserCaps/ by Rob Eberhardt, I stick it to my web.config file and I'm happy now

Good Coding

IE7 is great. I feel comfortable in both browsers now!

I haven't yet developed a site with IE7 as my test browser, but I know that the standards support are greatly improved, so it will be a better experience than with IE6... however I don't think the standards support is as good as Firefox or Safari. Firefox RC2 is out, and it's a free download... I like the new features in it... for example spell checking on any web textbox!

This is what I call a reply, thank you sub digital, Ill try the tables in my page as I'll try to read (( CSS Mastery by Andy Budd )), but that part about IE7 I didn't understand, is IE7 better than Firefox ?

and for burrying IE6 take allok at my desktop you will see its grave and Firefox is dancing on it !!!

Ok, this is a very common problem with a majority of developers out there. If you design a site using only IE, it will look broken in every other browser on the planet. Period.

This is because IE has quite a few known flaws when it comes to rendering pages, especially with CSS. So what to most people do? Resort to tables. "Tables for everything," they say. When things don't line up... well throw a table inside that td, then wrap the whole thing inside another table... nonsense.

Design your site incrementally and test both IE and firefox during development. Firefox has MUCH better standards support. IE7 is a HUGE step in the right direction. I can't wait until we bury IE6.

Ok, I'm done ranting. I suggest you check out CSS Mastery by Andy Budd and you'll get a good grip on how to use CSS for layout that works in all modern browsers.

Good luck.

martinbeeby@hotmail.com:
Can you post you page so that we can have a look at it?
I can then advise as to what you should to make it cross browser compatible.

Thsnk you for your reply, I've already done this, I've put a link to it thre or four replies above, it is ( Validation ) .

But this page is a test page and it's not the page I'm designing !

Both browsers render HTML and CSS differently. There are many tricks ensuring that pages look the same in both browsers and it's a real skill. Can you post you page so that we can have a look at it?

I can then advise as to what you should to make it cross browser compatible.

mpcabd:
yesterday I was trying the Commerce web starterkit and the same thing happend in firefox, the left panel's size wasn't the same in Visual Studio or in Internet Explorer.

Sorry for this mess, I meant that the left-panel's size in Firefox was not the size I set in Visual Studio, but in the Internet Explorer it was the same !

Re: A huge difference in viewing a page between Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox !

mpcabd — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 04:29:18 GMT

Yes, I think I do.

If you have these two brwsers you can see the difference between them by trying this page ( Validation ) , this is the page I told you about in the first post, and yesterday I was trying the Commerce web starterkit and the same thing happend in firefox, the left panel's size wasn't the same in Visual Studio or in Internet Explorer.

I just can't figure out how I can stop this thing !

So you use flow layout instead of grid layout for the aspx page

Hi guys, this is my first time writing in this forum, I'm learning ASP .NET 2.0 from a book ( Pro. ASP.NET 2.0 in VB 2005 ), and I've reached the Validation part, and when I made the testing page and tried it in the Internet Explorer it was just like I designed, but when I tried viewing it in the Firefox the buttons and textboxes mixed together just like a big bowl of salad, so I tried to apart'em and put a lot of <br />'s so when it runs on firefox it'll be good to see, this thing is a big problem because alot of people around the globe are using Firefox, and I want my website to be perfect so no one will ever see a mistake in it; the question is : how can I produce a page that looks the same as I designed in this two browsers .

Thank you all .
