aspx_beginners thread: Problem rendering textbox
Message #1 by "John Ritchie" <jcriv@a...> on Thu, 29 Aug 2002 22:00:18
Hi Everyone,

I have a webform that I developed using  VS.Net.  It has a multiline 'textbox'
which is scrollable and several buttons.  The textbox is rather large as I
want 
scroll a report in it.  This all works fine when I use  IE6 as the browser.
 When
I use Netscape 6.2 the text box is rendered in a minute fashion.  It's
still scrollable and
contains the report text but is useless otherwise.  After banging my head
around with this for
few hours I hit the 'view source' on both browsers and printed the results.
 Sure enough
the textbox code is being rendered differently.  Basically, for Netscape
6.2 the 'height' and
'width' directives are left off of the Netscape version.  See code below.

At first I thought the Microsoft was really smart being able to figure out
that Netscape
can't understand the 'height' and 'width' directives but that is not ture
either.  I saved
the code rendered for IE6 to and .htm  file and opened it directly with
Netscape and it
drew the textbox the correct way with no complaints..

Does anyone know why this might be happening?  Is the some config setting
required to
make this work with Netscape?  Is this a .NET bug?  If so, anyone know how
to report it
to Bill?

Thanks,
John Ritchie
