Hi, I have a small registration web app
(http://www.state.nd.us/dot/heepreg/registration.aspx) that renders
differently between the 2 versions of IE. The older version works just fine
but when the site is accessed with the newer version the text boxes and
labels start to overlap each other. I had the same problem with Firefox but
I used the following web.config file
(http://slingfive.com/pages/code/browserCaps/) and it took care of the
problem. I verified that both source files are exactly the same so IIS is
not sending the information differently.

Any hints.

Thanks,
 
I have the exact opposite experience with your site.
On the old version on Win98 SE, I got overlap.
On the new version on XP SP2, it is perfect.

To cure the overlap on the old version, I changed my display settings
from Large Fonts (120 dpi) to Small Fonts (96 dpi) as that is how my
XP machine is set and the overlap went.

Could that be the hint you want?

Hi Alan, good hint...that solved the problem with the user. We do not have
XP on any of our machines here so all communications have been with e-mail.
I had checked it with another person who had XP and just "assumed" it was
with the browser.

Your solution leads into another problem. How can I control this problem
from the aspx page? Do I use a style sheet with a specific font size...and
will this be ADA compliant?

Please note that I am not a "web master" but a programmer who got roped into
modifying someone elses application to suit my supervisors pet project.

Thanks for your help.
