View ASP pages in Netscape

[royjacob]

I've always viewed my ASP pages, which uses VB-Script, on Internet Explorer. I was wondering whether these ASP pages would work on Netscape Navigator ?

[reeset]

As long as the vbscript occurs within the ASP tags like this

 <%
   vbscript here
 %>

The pages should render the same. The reason is that the script inside of the tags are being rendered by the server, not the users browser. However, if you are using any vbscript functions outside of these tags, then I would think about converting them to netscape, or restructuring your site to use php if it is available to you.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, just to add to what reeset wrote...


Make sure that you use JavaScript for any Client-Side processing and...

for Netscape controls such as buttons and radio buttons etc HAVE to be inside <FORM></FORM> tags (IE doesn't care)

make sure you close <table> s with </table> or else nothing will be displayed (IE doesn't care about that either!)

You should test your finished pages in as many diffent browsers as possible.

Sizing of contols and positioning of items on a page can differ greatly between IE and Netscape
