Hi Steve,
Thanks for your project. For your convenience I copied your reply here:
Allen,
thank you for your reply.
Does it work in IE-- Yes
What version of Firefox-- 3.0.1
I have attached a sample program that reproduces the problem.
In the main content, the content from the masterpage overlaps the content
of the grid in the child page. I have this same basic problem with a very
detailed page in my production website along with a more simple one like
this one in this sample.
In the header area, the dropdownlist does not display it's height properly.
I have included the databases from SQLServer express. You will need to
change the connection strings perhaps and attach the databases to an
install on your machine maybe. Let me know if I have left something out.

I've tested it in IE 7 but still get the overlapped GridView. To clarify
the problem I've sent you an email with a screenshot. Please check if the
layout is what you've seen in FireFox.
If it's the same layout here's the solution:
1. Open the master page GISMasterSearch.master with Notepad.
2. Search "Panel1" in it and remove the Height from the element: <asp
anel
ID="Panel1" runat="server" Width="642px" BorderStyle="Solid"
BorderWidth=0px BorderColor=lightGray>.
3. Save the file and close it.
Here are the steps how I troubleshoot:
1. I opened your page and found the GridView is overlapped.
2. I viewed the source and copied all the content in a newly created
testpage.aspx. The reason to do this is that I can simply edit the page and
preview the layout in Split view of Visual Studio.
3. I removed other irrelevant html tags one by one to narrow it down.
4. Finally here's the concise html that can reproduce this problem:

==================================================
5. Now it's obvious that the style of the div (or table) causes this
problem. I removed the height of ctl00_Panel1 and it works fine then.
6. Then I need to find the counterpart in the master page that renders this
div and change the style. I opened GISMasterSearch.master and searched
"Panel1" to find the Panel. I saw the Height is hard coded there. So I
removed it and the problem was gone.
If you have further questions please feel free to ask.

| Hi SAL
| From your description your page doesn't display the expected layout in
| FireFox (I have two questions as to this: What's the version of the
| FireFox? Does it work in IE?).
| Based on my experience it's generally caused by the different rendering
| engine of different browsers. FireFox uses Gecko while IE uses MSHTML.
| If you could send me a demo project that can reproduce this problem I'll
| try to find the root cause and a workaround if there is.
| My email is (e-mail address removed).

| | Hello, I did google this issue and found some stuff related to
| BrowserCaps
| | section of either web.config or machine.config but it didn't work.
| |
| | It seems that most pages in my webapp are okay but a couple of the
| Firefox
| | is munging up.
| | So, on my information page there is a gridview in the content section
of
| the
| | page. The masterpage contains searching capabilities for the gridview.
| The
| | masterpage has controls contained in a panel control, labels, textboxes
a
| | dropdownlist and a button to execute the search. Firefox shows the
| Gridview
| | just fine but it looks like it's overlaying the masterpage onto the top
| part
| | of the gridview.
| | I dropped the browsercaps section from slingfive into my web.config
file
| but
| | it didn't change anything.
| |
| | I tried replacing the panel with a placeholder and it fixed the munging
| | problem but the text box widths don't render the same either. My master
| page
| | contains stuff for the header of everypage and there's a dropdownlist
in
| | there with some other stuff. This gets kind of munged too.
| | Now, I could go through and make some similar changes to the master
page
| | like I did with replacing the panel server control with a placeholder
but
| it
| | seems like there should be a better way to make this stuff render
| correctly
| | in Firefox.
| |
| | Any help here with this issue?
| |
