Re: Problem with TextBox control in DotNet 1.1

For most of the bugs like these there are two things you'll need:

- A good reference to the differences between the browsers (I used to use an
O'Reilly book on HTML, but not sure what's the best book any longer).
- Spend a lot of time in "View Source".  Look to see what ASP.NET is
generating in FF and IE and see what is different.  Where possible, changing
the behavior to a CSS style tends to work on FF and Opera the same as
IE...but implicit tag attributes tend to differ though I am no expert.

Thanks for the input.  I got it to work using the following way:

<asp:textbox id="tbSpecialInstructions" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine"
Wrap="True" Columns="60" Rows="5"></asp:textbox>

The situation arises now with FireFox that the information doesn't wrap.
When I get to the 60th character it continues on and doesn't ever wrap.
Again, it works fine in IE7 and the information wraps at the 60th character
and each 60th character there after.

Any clues on making the wrap feature work in FireFox?

If you remove the Width and Height and use a style="" tag you might have
better luck (additional attributes in the tag are preserved).  In your case,
style="width: 450px;height: 48px".

I've got a textbox that is defined as follows:



<asp:textbox id="tbSpecialInstructions" runat="server" Width="450px"
Height="48px" TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:textbox>



It looks great in Internet Explorer (IE7), but in Firefox, it gets
shrunk down to a smaller size than that which is displayed in IE7 and in
the dotnet aspx page.



Does anyone know how to make this box appear the size that I've defined
in Firefox?



Thanks,
