Rendering ASP.NET controls in non MS Browsers

Probably all of you know that stuff already but for those that dont. ASP.NET by default does not treat non MS browsers as uplevel browsers leading to ASP.NET controls being rendered incorrectly. Well the solution for that is to include browser caps in the .config files of the application.

Here is a great article that explains all about this, and here is a browserCap section already written to handle non MS browsers including many of the unfamiliar ones.

IE 5.5 and below is also considered down level. And the controls are not rendered "incorrectly", just "differently". Some would argue that this is because IE doesn't conform to a lot of standards, and some would say that it is becuase of the differences you get in different browser families when development teams interpret the standards differently.
