How to make server controls browser compatible

Introduction

In the modern web development, we need to check the beowser compatibility for our webpages. This can include changing the css classes, style to fix the design issues. Using ASP.NET we can check the browser compatibility without writing a single line of code for the server controls.


Let's check out some code samples:

If we will define css classes like:
.IEStyle{color:Red;}
.FFStyle{color:Blue;}
.DefaultStyle{color:Black;}

Create a Label control in your page.
Label control:

mozilla:CssClass="FFStyle" CssClass="DefaultStyle" ie:Text="You are in Internet
explorer." mozilla:Text="You are in Firefox." Text="You are in other browser."
/>

Just make page run in the different browser and see the changes as below

Output:
IE  : You are in Internet explorer.
FF : You are in Firefox.
Others : You are in other browser.


You can try the same with the TextBox control.
TextBox Control:

mozilla:Text="You are in Firefox." Text="You are in other browser." ie:CssClass="IEStyle"
mozilla:CssClass="FFStyle" CssClass="DefaultStyle" />



We can use these setting for all server controls.


NOTE : There is no intellisense available for above in Visual Studio.
