TextBox controls in Netscape

[modplan]

Using .NET release + SP 1...<BR>I set up a very simple Webform whose only contents between the <FORM> tags is:<BR><asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server" width="400px" height="200px" /><BR><BR>When run on IE 6, the width and height are shown and the source shows:<BR><input name="TextBox1" type="text" id="TextBox1" style="height:200px;width:400px;" /><BR>When run on Netscape 6.2.2, the textbox doesn't reflect the width and height and the source shows:<BR><input name="TextBox1" type="text" id="TextBox1" /><BR>If I manually edit the source and put in the exact same style attribute, Netscape properly follows the settings.<BR><BR>Anyone know why .NET's TextBox doesn't render the Width and Height styles on Netscape 6?<BR><BR>--- Peter Blum<BR>The Web controls are "adaptive" in the sense that they alter their HTML output based on the browser being used to visit the page (as you've noticed). There are different classes: Uplevel (which are defined to be browsers that can handle DHTML/JavaScript output) and Downlevel (all other browsers); there are other classes you can use/add.<BR><BR>By default, IE 4.0 and up are uplevel and everything else is downlevel. You can alter this in your machine.config file: see C:WINNTMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv1.0.3705CONFIGmachin e.config, the ClientTarget tag.<BR><BR>Also, you can force the controls on a page to render a certain way, regardless of the browser being used. Just add:<BR><BR><%@ Page ClientTarget="Uplevel" %><BR><BR>at the top of your ASP.NET Web page, and the controls will all render uplevel. Of course the _better_ solution would be to edit your machine.config file and add Netscape 6.0 to the uplevel browser class. hthThanks for the reply Scott.<BR>When I read the syntax of the <clienttarget> web.config/machine.config format, I didn't see how to have several browsers supported in one alias. I believe you wanted me to add a second browser to the "Uplevel" alias.<BR>I have acquired a user-agent string for my Netscape browser by using the Trace property. It reads:<BR>Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.4.1) Gecko/20020314 Netscape6/6.2.2<BR>I'm uncertain how to clean this up to reflect all Netscape 6 browsers (or at least those running on Windows).<BR><BR>--- Peter
