I am looking for a list of "things to look for" when building a web page
so it works with both nn and ie
What are the things to look for

Thank you.

This isn't really an ASPNET question, since ASPNET renders contents that
render in NN and IE anyway.

If you are looking for more general answers to the best implementation of
HTML, JavaScript & JScript and CSS, I would suggest an HTML newsgroup.

I think the most important thing to look out for is making sure that your browserCaps in
{web/machine}.config is up to date; the newest Gecko browsers aren't there -- which sometimes means
that ASP.NET will treat Gecko browser as downlevel when they really should be uplevel. There are
various home-brewed Gecko/Mozilla browserCaps around.

The second thing to think about is what kind of HTML; usually VS.NET it defaults to HTML 4.0
(unless you've setup your config differently, like HTML 3.2) -- I like XHMTL. In the end I decided
on XHTML transitional because VS.NET really doesn't grok XHMTL strict -- next release will, I guess.

The rest of the stuff has less to do with ASP.NET and more to do with the individual browsers.

Scott,

Can you tell me how to include browserCaps in the config file. as an example
Or what's in the machine.config is good enough for NN

Thank you
