What Document Type are you using? What mode is your site running under? If your site was designed for IE in Quirksmode, then it likely won't look right in any browser.

Could you post the rendered HTML of your page?

Specifically I'm looking for the Doctype, and the contents of the Head tag.

It should look something like this: 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

 Basically, I want Firefox to show the UI and controls, fonts, etc as it shows in design mode or IE, so do I need to use something in asp.net code to make it unaffected of Browser Type.

This FireFox is pain in the neck.

Thanks,

So it looks like your DocType is ok, the next culprit might be the StyleSheets. Could you post a live example of your site or an image showing the differences between IE and Firefox?

Here's a link you may be interested in: The Acid3 Test The Acid2 Test - these sites suggest that IE is truly the pain in the neck... :)

it will be little hard to paste the sample here as it changes the way it look like here and i don't how to upload the screen shot here in forums, but it clearly messes up the font size, and layout of control when runs in FF. otherwise, FF is good browser. I used something like Target browser = IE5.0 tag in first line of html code, and that worked in 2003 version, but in 2005, it won't work. so I asked this question.

Regarding Style sheet, I was using before but same effect, so I excluded it from my project in 2005 version.

what other asp.net developer handles this.

I'm not sure what your asking. You might need to clarify? If you can post a live version of your site, then we can work though it. You might want to consider using Firebug for debugging your design issues in Firefox.

My issue is simple. See you design an website in Visual Studio 2005 using asp.net vb.net or C#.net. you use some controls like buttons, labels, etc. what is happening is that we i run the page in firefox, it will maintain the size of such controls or fonts sizes. it will change the orientation of controls on page too. for example, alignment will be messed up.

or take the example of any website, like this one, it stays same in IE or FF or any browser, but in my case, layout looks ugly and different when i run in FF. I am sure I am not the only one who is having this issue, i have heard this issue before too, but did not get the workaround yet.

i hope, it is clear now.

I'm not sure there is a work around. ASP.NET controls get rendered into plain old HTML. So the responsibility for creating cross browser compatible sites is left to you - while you're creating your site, you should probably try to use web standards, and should be testing in various browsers.

If you tailor your site for IE, it will almost always never work in more standard compliant browsers like FF, Opera, Safari. But if you design your site in a more standard compliant browser like FF, then it will almost always work in IE. IE is still one of the least standard compliant browsers on the market.

I'm not sure there is a work around for this case.

I have found that a lot of the cross browser issues are dealt with by runnng the W3C Markup validation service at http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input.
