Browser Differences

I make a page that looks good in IE/Avant, but the font size is really big
in FireFox and the textboxes don't stay at their specified widths.

Is there a way to get these 3 main browsers to display consistently by still
using the web controls? (this is VS 2003)ASP.NET question.

TIA,

Shane

my asp.net pages look great in IE, Firefox and Opera, with some minor
exeptions like I cant use a treeview and a dropdownlist in the same page in
Firefox.
Even in the linux browsers like Conkeror and Epiphany my server controls
look great. I mostly use relative sizes in percentages.

Just use standards, then tweak the browsers to make them right. It's a
shame that no browser maker(IE team) /framework(creators of webparts,
tree control, and Wizard) creator ever obeys the W3C (well, Mozilla
does). Just imagine a world where 1+1=2 for you and 1+1=3 for someone
else... that's web development. There is no interop... even though
that's the entire point.

Like I say all you can do is obey the W3C, then add backwards compat to
IE and add a few fixes to fix the ASP.NET code to make it work in real
web browsers. Have fun trying to get anything working in Opera
though... you may want to back away from trying that.

Well, I used webforms textbox control, and set width to 224px and it was
like a few chars wide in Firefox.

Also on font, I set size to 10pt and it became huge. I will double check
that I didn't mistakenly put px, but still.

Thanks,

Shane

ps.I have done web programming, I just used to not use or care about Firefox
and now I do.

I don't really care about Opera.

I really just wanted to support IE (easy), Netscape/Firefox, and Avant.

Thanks for the reply.

Really, you just program to the XHTML/CSS specs at w3c.org. Then you
add backwards compat to IE (not fun).

Avant is IE from what I understand.
