Was just wondering that since ASP.NET files use jscript/vbscript are they veiwable on netscape browsers?

Yes, they are viewable in all browsers that support the html standards. You can even target your pages to certain browsers if you wish. ASP.Net pages are completely created at the server, and sent as a pure html page to the client.

Great that's what i thought, but i just wanted to mkae sure

i just learned that if you do client side code such as a validation form then it will only run on I.E. Which mean you pretty much have to code everything server side.

Right, that is because the default client side code is in vbScript. You will need to alter them to javascript in order to be compatible.

when i used netscape 7.0 , it just wanted to download aspx files instead of show them. I have upgraded to Netscape Navigator 7.02 in the mean time and haven't tried it yet, so maybe it works now?

//edit

I just tried it and it works

Actually the default clintside script is Jscript, but you can change it to VBscript. But either way neither of those run on NetScape as Jscript isn't Javascript, it's Microsofts own version of Javascript.

Well actually i just ran it with Jscript on netscape7.0 and it seemed to work...hmm How confusing.

But hmm i just tried it with VBScript and it worked too That can't be right. I'm testng it localy on my computer does it work diffrently on a remote server?
