dotnet changes to html?

[Nick Foster]

I have built a website in asp.net and in cross-browser
testing discovered problems viewing the pages in Netscape
4.75 on Solaris 8. (yes, one of our partners is stll using
this so it has to work :(

The text on the page is controlled by an external style
sheet and while the font family is being passed correctly
the font-size is being ignored.

The reason I believe that the dotnet frmaework is
responsible for this is that I took a plain html page
test.htm which was a replica of a page from the site and
it views perfectly in NN4 on Solaris. When I change the
name of the file to test.aspx, without changing any of the
content, that font-size blows out again.

Does anyone know what could be happening to the page that
might cause this browser problem with CSS? Is there
something that dotnet might be adding that could break the
page? I am on the verge of having to recode the entire
site in old ASP if I can't find the solution to this.

Thanks for your help,
Nick

What units are you using for font sizes in the style sheet?

I have been using CSS style sheets in my ASPX pages for a while now, with
font sizes in points (eg. "12pt, 10pt") as well as dynamic sizes (eg.
"x-small, xx-large" ). I have never foudn a problem with the size not
being displayed correctly.
