hi,
My C# application displaying correctly in IE, But in
netscape all input controls (text box, dblist, drop down
list and etc.,) disappered. Only lables are displaying.
The value inside the drop down list is displaying in the
screen itself. I can't see the controls. Anybody knows
about this problem.

Thanks,
Ramesh

Which Netscape version does that problem occur with?
I assume that is an ASP.NET application, is that online so that you
could post a URL?
 
hi,
It is Netscape 4.7. This is ASP.net application, but you
can't access. It is restricted in my company.

thanks,

displaying. Any solution.

Hi,

Are you using CSS ? , can you post the page, maybe you have an incomplete or
incorrectly formed table structure, I think I remember that NS4.X was a real
pain when the tables were not well formed.

Hope this help,
 
Ramesh,

There is a property to determine what kind of client you are targeting
with the ASP.NET page/app I believe. You need to set this to HTML 3.2 in
order for Netscape to be able to render it.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi,


Take a look at this article :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...html/vbtskdetectingbrowsertypesinwebforms.asp
I think that the ASP.NET framework is able to detect the client and render
the best it can. I don't think there is nothing much you can do about it
though.

now I do remember that NS4.X was a BIG PAIN IN THE ... when dealing with
complex pages , you have to be 100% sure that the page is well formed
otherwise NS will make a mess out of it. I bet that you have a wrong tag
somewhere :)

Pd:
I haven't seen a NS4.X in a while now :)

Hope this help,

<imho>4.x wasn't a pain with rendering complex pages...it only made sure
you formed your html properly, unlike IE and NS6+ which allow web
designers to be more lazy</imho>

however, you are right...one missing or misplaced
<td><tr><table><div>...etc that isn't closed right or overlaps another
block-level element will screw the whole thing up, and if the UI was
designed in design view, or other graphical method rather than just
code...that could be the problem. The problem is very likely not
anything to do with ASP.NET as it only renders HTML to the client and I
have never had a problem with NN4.x

The other thing is, like you mentioned CSS, or any DHTML, the NN4 DOM
was kinda crap, and a lot of the javascript/stylesheet stuff that will
render and work in IE and NS6+ will absolutely not in NN4.x so if you
are enhancing the client UI with DHTML, you may just want to make the
decision to not support NN4.x since the DOM doesn't support your needs,
and it's actually a dead platform now as far as Netscape is concerned.
