Firefox browser support

[ES]

Hello,
I'm developing a asp.net application with VisualStudio 2003, framework 1.1,
etc. I use the Firefox browser at lot and I've noticed a lot of differences
in how things appear, even when what is generated for IE would work just
fine for FF. For example, a aspanel is rendered as a div for IE but a
table for FF.

<aspanel id="SitePanel" runat="server" CssClass="SitePanel">

in IE:
<div id="SitePanel" class="SitePanel">

In FF
<table id="SitePanel" class="SitePanel" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
border="0" width="100%"><tr><td>

(Naturally I had the style defined as div.sitepanel{...} Doesn't work so
well when it's plunked down in a table...)

A manually inserted <div> tag works just fine in FF of course.

Is there any way to tell .NET to render HTML for Firefox the same as it does
for IE (or at least better than what it does)?

Thanks,
Elton

Google for "browserCaps". There was a similar discussion in this group just
a few days ago.
