Fonts in .Net

Can someone explain to me why when we choose the font MS
Sans-Serif in a web form it looks just like Times New
Roman? It has always been my understanding that 'Sans-
Serif' means without the serifs on the font. Times New
Roman is the exact opposite of this, unless I am
misunderstanding something.

Thanks for your help.

Works here. Actually I've never seen that problem. Are you sure you have the
font installed on your computer?
