ASP.Net does not work with Netscape it seems.
I made a form with a validation control. The validation control does not do the validation client side..after submitting, the form gets submitted and then i get the message..

It works fine with IE.

Any answer?

Thnx

It should not be any kind of problem since the server only should send forward the <html> code but maybe he doesnt suport the controll
:confused:

ASP.Net Validation controls don't do client side
validation for Netscape because DOM model differ.
So for IE validation is done on the client side and the server and for Netscape it is done on the server side.

AFAIK all controls delivered by Microsoft within the .Net framework SDK are compatible with Netscape 2.xx+ and IE 3.xx+

I have been having similar problems to the ones cited by s_bist.

In a very simple case, both IE and NS 6 were OK, but NS4 failed.

In a more complex case (code given below) IE 6.2 is OK, but both versions of Netscape fail in an identical fashion -- one which suggests to me that there is some kind of state-preservation problem.

Sorry the code is lengthy, but this is the simplest version I can demonstrate.

There is a form containing two panels, each with a textbox and submit button.

The panels are toggled (made visible/invisible) by the submit button, which also initiates validation on the current textbox.

If the textbox contains input the alternate sub-form is exposed; if not the user is asked to type something.

NS 4.79 and NS 6.2.3 toggle panels irrespective of textbox input; on the second and subsequent exposures of Panel1 (but not Panel2) the error message is displayed when the new page is loaded and before user interaction takes place.

Code follows ... Note: in order to display lines of code, leading "<" characters had to be replaced with "[" -- using '' did not help.

TIA
