Author Screen Geography Issue (aspx/html)

ASP.NET Screens look different in IE, FireFox, and Netscape.

How can one ensure some consistentcy? Is there a technique?

The main issue is a plain vanilla HTML screen with radio-buttons,
a label, and an activation button -- designed in ASP.NET with
Visual Studio.NET 2003. One IE Browser shows it almost as VS.
Another IE Browser has the activation button sitting on top of the
set of radio buttons... and if that isn't bad enough, the app is also
inoperable.

Thanks,

DaveFash

there is no 100% way if you go beyond the 100% supported items (tags) but
even then you dont have a guarantee. As long as you stick with the w3c & html
version standards you will be "close enough" I would think.
It's not really a problem in as much as it's a choice.. people choose a
browser, and all that comes with it. You can only do so much to accomodate.

I was hoping that Visual Studio.NET 2003 would comply with w3c and
other html version standards. If that is not the case, I am disappointed.
If that IS the case, then my question is what can be done (over and
above the auto-code generation) to mitigate browser incompatibility?

like using a frame or panel to isolate components that belong together...
or using relational screen positioning, etc. etc. Where would those kind
of techniques be described?

Thanks,
DaveFash
