ASP.Net on Mac

[Magiaus]

Okay. Does anyone know anything about how well Asp.Net does with mac. In theory there should be no worries unless there is a javascript issue. Here is the thing 2 people with Mac OS X can't login into the website. I have no mac...

They could be idiots or something but I dunno. Safari and IE5.5 for mac are being used. The login uses an asp:button....

asp.net is running on IIS on the server not the client. i have never had heard of this issue in the past.

It would probably be some sort of a javascript problem with the viewstate or even the validation.

Is there an IE 6.0 for Mac? If so, then tell them to upgrade. Or whatever the latest version is.

JavaScript fires the Server Side code. If for some reason mac screws that up IIS isn't a factor.

I'm thinking that it may be something do to with the built in ASP.Net scripting but I'm not sure. I don't think there is an IE update for mac either.

I need a mac.... Oh! it also could have to do with SmartNav that Iframe bs could be to blame.... I have it set to true

<script language="javascript">
<!--
 function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
  var theform;
  if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("netscape") > -1) {
   theform = document.forms["Welcome"];
  }
  else {
   theform = document.Welcome;
  }
  theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");
  theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
  theform.submit();
 }
// -->
</script>

If the Mac browser can not parse the view state or has any problem in this function it's all over...
This has to be what is happening I'm just not sure why.

If you are using Windows Integrated Authentication for your security, then that would be your problem. IE on Windows boxes are the only browsers that can participate in that kind of authentication.

It's pure DB. I wouldn't use Windows Intergrated unless it was an intranet or something.
