IIS on XP display different then IIS on 2003

[jzelhart]

Can anyone help me with a display issue that I am having? I have a ASP.NET website using CSS/theme. On my development machine which is XP with IIS turned on and setup to work with Visual Studio 2005 the website look good and works as expected. I copy the whole directory to the webserver (we are in development mode) which is Server 2003 with IIS. Everything works but some of my buttons (not all) the top and bottom borders are cut off and when you click on the menu bar the whole layout jumps down one line.

It does this from my computer when I connect to the webserver version but not if I go directly from browser to local host or from the developement enviroment.

I first posted this in CSS and someone suggested I post here. Am I missing something that I need to refresh or some setting?

Thanks in advance,

Jennifer


Hope everyone is having a great day!

The difference between IIS6 on XP and 2003 is the amount of websites it will let you host. There is not difference between IIS6 and IIS6. Unless you have different things installed. One thing you can do it on the development machine, on the website right click it and ... backup/export configuration to file?? I'm tring to remember from memory, then take the file it makes and import that on the 2003 machine. This way everything will be exact on the new IIS. If you do have any issues it will be on the coding part.

Just found your old post, and looking at your code, you posted a novel over there. What's the issue? By the way, you posted your full name in the code... Jennifer LOL Almost done that before.

Which post was it that I had my full name in? Nt that it matters with my screen name...

Thanks for your help, It is weird because it is mostly CSS and HTML differences, not code. For example I format link buttons to look like buttons so that I can control them instead of the browser deciding how they look and on the local copy all the buttons show the top and bottom border. On the server copy some of the buttons show all borders, some show all but top and some just show the side borders. Even on the same page same line... weird.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

I found the solution by accident...

The following had to be added to the Web.Config System.Web section...

<xhtmlConformance mode="Transitional"/>

Thanks TheCandyman
