Textbox Width Issue (Rendered differently for different browsers)

[Jeff]

Using ASP.NET 1.1

I have an <asp:TextBox... for which I set the width property --- "width=30".

The textbox is being rendered to the browser like this:

<input name="someName" type="text" maxlength="3" id="someID"
style="width:30px;" />

Notice the [Width=30] gets rendered as [style="width:30px;"]. This causes
the textbox to be 30 pixels wide, at least in IE and Opera.

I have discovered in testing that the [style="width:30px;"] part is *omitted
completely* from the rendered HTML when the page is requested by FireFox or
Netscape Navigator (6.2) - so the textbox (really <input... />) gets some
default width rather than being set to 30 pixels wide.

What can I do to set the width the same for FireFox and NN (same as for IE)?

Thanks!

Dont use inline styles. Rather use the cssclass property and set it to a
class defined in your stylesheet. The problem w/ the inline styles is that
asp.net see gecko browser as downlevel and as such doesnt send the inline
style info. And i would have thought that it woulndt send it to opera either
since it considers only ie as uplevel.

Take a look at the following URL for an Browsercap update too add to your
web.config or machine.config file.

That should take care of that problem with asp.net considering most browsers
as downlevel.
