aspx_professional thread: WebControls and Netscape


Message #1 by "Jenita" <jenita.a@n...> on Wed, 10 Jul 2002 13:25:32
There are 2 major things you have to keep in mind if you're going to 
attempt to make a .Net application cross browser compliant:

1. Go to your options for your project (right click on the project and go 
to properties) and make sure to change your Designer Defaults -> target 
schema to the lowest common denominator.  This will limit some of the 
items you can use from an HTML standpoint but shouldn't effect what you 
want to do with your server side web controls.

2. You absolutely have to be using the autopostback methodology with 
server side web controls.  Don't try to use any of the client side 
behaviors because many of them use HTC files and other items that Netscape 
will not handle (of course).

I hope this helps and I'm sure you'll shortly join me in saying Netscape 
should be completely pulled off the market.
