How to make Web project Firefox and other browsers compatible?

trint

My web site works just fine with Internet Explorer 6 and 7. But
GridViews,
FormViews and other parts of my site are either overlapping or not
where
they are supposed to be or missing alltogether in FireFox and other
browsers.
Is there a simple way to make my site compatible with most other
commonly
used browsers?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Trint

Yup - make it XHTML-compliant...

1) If you're using Visual Studio.NET 2005, go into Tools, Options, Text
Editor, HTML, Validation and select XHTML 1.0 Transitional, making sure that
all of the check boxes are checked

2) Open up all of your aspx pages one by one and make sure that the Target
Schema for Validation dropdown in the HTML Source Editing toolbar is also
set for XHTML 1.0 Transitional

3) Fix all of the non-XHTML-compliant markup

if you used grid mode and set x/y and control sizes it probably does not
work with IE also. switch to large fonts (under desktop setup) and try
your site. you need to use flow layout.
