I have a small website developed using VS2005 and mySQl, it’s just 2 webforms and login page.

During the development and testing phase, me and my customer were using IE6, and it was looking fine, we didn’t test with other browsers because it’s a small application, and just a add-in for large desktop application.

The customer informed me that site doesn’t like the same when he installed IE7, for example I have a webfrom that show a page with Gridview that has multiply pages(AllowPaging=On), it doesn’t look fine in IE7 and I can’t navigate to other pages in Gridview, but it was working fine with IE6, and there’s no complicated things, just plan GridView with small formatting.

I installed IE8 and doesn’t look fine with it too, even in compatibility mood.

Have anyone faced the same problem?, and what should be the quickest or best solution for that?.

I know, I SHOULD NEVER USE WEBFORMS AGAIN.

    The only reason for a difference in look between the browser versions is your styling and doctype.

    Start with setting a doctype to run in quirks mode. You can get information about it here.

    After that, see if things improve. If not, I would start ripping out any css/styles/themes you may be using. Then build it back up using normal CSS.

    Incidentally, web forms isn’t the problem in this case; it’s a styling issue.
