Browser compatibility

Just a quick and hopefully straightforward question.... are there any issues
with web sites based on .Net not working correctly (or at all) for clients
using non IE browsers (Mozilla and Firefox being the two major concerns
obviously)?

Thanks

Hi Rob,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to know if there is any
browser compatibility issues for ASP.NET. If there is any misunderstandin g,
please feel free to let me know.

Yes, there is. The compatibility issues are mainly in script support and
web controls. Here are some documents about cross-browser compatibility.

Your understanding would be correct.

So the situation is that if I'm building an asp.net site which I want to
ensure works under Mozilla, then there would be no reason why it wouldn't
work, just that the code would need to be tested and potentially tweaked
slightly to cope?

Hi Rob,

The general asp.net controls can be rendered properly to HTML. However,
some IE web controls might not be displayed on other browsers. It would be
good practice to test the app on all browsers.

Hi Guys, After a break of 2 years I'm now re-visiting the world of java. I recall on my last foray that I had to stick to java 1.1 so I could deploy applets from a server and obtain maximum compatibility with the standard browsers, supplied on all platforms: We live in the pre-press industry where folk use diverse platforms such as Sparc, Mac, PC (mnimum Win2K, or XP), using Netscape and Internet Explorer, etc.

Instead of doing repetitive checks throughout my code, or defining new methods that won't work unless they are included, I have taken the approach of redefining existing methods in order to make them as cross browser compatible as possible.

Hi We are dealing with significant browser compatibility issues with Netscape 5.x+ browsers and Mac IE. I am sure most web developers have faced similar issues in the past. Can anyone give me their thoughts on how they were able to address these issues ? Are there any best practices published by MS on how to ensure browser compatibility when coding asp.net Thanks for any input.

Hi Everyone, You all would be aware of the fact that we boast about .net supporting multiple web browsers. I hope we have all experienced that our screen layouts look different in every other browser. (Netscape being the worst!) So how far can we agree on this statement? Manoj

This is just a quick poll for all you web devs out there: What browsers do you test on/are concerned about compatibility with? Obviously, you're going to test on current-generation browsers such as IE6, IE7, Firefox 1.5/2, Opera 8/9, Safari 2, etc. How old must a browser be before you stop worrying about it? Anybody here still test on IE4? Thanks,
