I created a really simple Web Application in .NET as per the instructions in this VB-World tutorial:
http://vbworld.com/misc/vbnetuncovered3/index3.html
I then hit F5 to run it and it ran fine in IE 6.0. I then tried to view it from Netscape Navigator 4.78 and I only see one label. I thought that the whole idea of .NET was that it would automatically work with all browsers and most handheld devices. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help!
view the html source that is created in the Netscape browser and post it here..not the asp code. I can then look at it and see what might be the problem with netscape
It appears as if maybe it thinks Netscape 4.78 is IE 5.0.Code:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

ok i cant be sure on this, but look for any options for the project as if i remember correctly, there is asetting to specify whether you wnt the page outputted for ie only or any browser..I use notepad for my pages so I dont know exactly where to llok for this in VS .NET.
But i do think there is asetting like that.
I found an option to set the "Target schema" and I set it to IE 3.02 & Navigator 3.0 with JScript.
After rebuilding and opening it up in Navigator 4.78 again I get the same messed up page and the following code.
I haven't looked at it really, really closely, but it appears to be the same thing.Code:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

Any idea why it didn't any? I've cleared the cache, rebuilt the project, etc.
hmm I really dont know..except to say try Netscape 6.1 to see what it does..it is probably the style atributes where the problem lies.
ASP.NET generates HTML 3.2 compliant code but Netscape adds some own rules to it. For example, Netscape needs all <script> tags between the <head> tag, if not it won't render. Netscape really sucks !!
