Just started a site, using standard html/css - nothing fancy. Just divs to create a framed look. The server code is asp.net (4.0).
When I debug the program locally out of visual studio 2012, the page looks exactly as I designed it in all of my browsers (ie8/ff/chrome). When I publish it to my dev server and open it in IE8, the layout is messed up (i.e, my login box is now at bottom of page instead of center). However, if I open that same page on the dev server with firefox or chrome, it looks correct.
I've tried deleting all the files and republishing. I've viewed the source behind both the working (localhost) and broken (dev server) and it is identical.
Any ideas or additional troubleshooting steps I can try?
Thanks.

You could try:
make sure all of your resources are being loaded correctly (IE8 can do this, but other tools are available)
validating HTML/CSS
checking your render modes locally vs in production. If this is the issue, you can probably use the X-UA-Compatible meta tag to force a specific version of the IE render engine.
checking for any page/script errors
checking that the source in production matches the source when viewed locally
checking differences between IIS
Also by "standard html/css", I assume this is HTML4/CSS2? Do you have a link to check out?
Removed the top level div and it worked. Still not sure why it worked in ie8 on the local box, but not the dev box.

I've been hired into a company that uses ASP.NET for all of their external and internal sites. I'm not too familiar with ASP.NET.
I'm currently working on a external site that runs perfectly in Internet Explorer.
When using the site on chrome, I have certain pages that give me the 404 - File or directory not found.
What can I do to help prevent this error code from showing up when using this site the chrome?
From your description, I understand that your site is a legacy site that is compatible with the IE browser but it is not working properly with modern browsers.
The 404 error information generally informs us that something is not found but if the site works fine in the IE browser then it could be possible that the issue is something else. In that case, this is too little information to predict the cause of the issue.
You may need to provide detailed information about which exact piece of code has the issue. Which version of the Asp.Net project and which kind of project(Web application, web API, etc.) it is. You may need to modify your code or project to make it work with modern browsers including Google Chrome.
At present, if you don't want to make any changes in your code then you could try to use the IE mode in the MS Edge browser to load your legacy site.
You could configure the IE mode manually or using the group policy.
To quickly check it, Launch the Edge browser. Paste edge://settings/defaultBrowser in the address bar and press the Enter key. Add your page to the Internet Explorer mode pages. Visit your site, it should load properly in the IE mode in the Edge browser.
Old (OLD!) legacy ASP web application. Recent upgrade of the server from Windows 2003 Server to Windows Server 2012 and IIS 8.
One particular page which uses MPC (multipage control?), tabbed control, displays all messed up in IE11.
I have tried these options:
F12 Developer toolbar, set Document Mode to 5.
Local environment result: Worked beautifully.
Client environment result: Nope. Still messed up.
I added meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=5"> to the page
Local environment result: Worked beautifully.
Client environment result: Nope. Still messed up.
Reset. I went into IIS, HTTP Response Headers and added X-UA-Compatible/IE=5.
Local environment result: Worked beautifully.
Client environment result: Nope. Still messed up.
Checked IE versions... I am on IE11, Update Version: 11.0.33. Client is on 11.0.32. But all of these steps worked on IE10 in our environment as well.
I also saw a thread about group policies and compatibility view settings. Is there something in a group policy on that client's environment that might be overriding anything else I have tried to do?
Can group policy even override F12 mode? (just searching for any possible explanation as to the differences in otherwise identical environments)
I have a problem in my local pc with some grids in an asp.net website.
The first image is the testing server, and the grids are showing ok here.
The second image is the same page (sabe website, same vs solution) running on my pc(localhost).
What can be missing in my pc??
Thanks!
My initial thought would be to check whether the CSS file you are linking to is accessible in your local environment. Look in the source view of your web browser. You could also pull up IE Developer Tools (F12) and click the CSS tab.
I've created a website using ASP.NET (C#) Framework 4.0
When running on my local IIS (in debug/release - before and after deployed) - the website is displayed correctly - as intended (checked on Internet Explorer 9, 10, Chrome and FireFox)
After I've deployed the website to my server (Windows Server 2008 DataCenter - Amazon hosting) - and only in IE 10 - the website is NOT displayed correctly - spacing is sometimes wrong, background colors sometimes disappeared, links not working properly, padding/margin is missing in some of the places and more... - it seems like the styles/CSS are partial... On other browsers (Chrome/FireFox/IE9) - it is displayed correctly (as intended)
I've tried to add the compatibility meta tags to IE=9 - didn't work (by the way, in IE10 - if I open the F12 tool - and change the Browser Mode to IE9 - it works!, but if I just change the Document Mode - it doesn't seem to help)
Why is Internet Explorer 10 evil??? Has anyone encountered this issue? any suggestions?
Thanks a lot! :)
As you write you are using F12 tools. My experience is that with Developer Tools running IE10 often does not apply all CSS rules (especially in at the end of external files). Refreshing the page or closing F12 tools usualy solves the problem. Also if you know which style is not applied it helps to disable and enable it again.
i have passe through a similar situation and some things just don't stay they way i want in every browser, so perhaps the better way out is to create CSS hacks tos specific spacing or styling issues you may have encoutered.

After a lot of searching and frustration, I've found the solution to my problem (here: http://www.nuget.org/packages/App_BrowsersUpdate)
Apparently the website should be updated to allow IE10 compatibility...
In your solution - install the ASP.NET Browser Capabilities Update using the following command in the "Package Manager Console" (can be started from "Tools"->"Library Package Manager" in your VS):
Install-Package App_BrowsersUpdate
(this will add ".browser" files to your website and few lines in your "web.config" file)
Rebuild and re-deploy your website and that's it! now my deployed website looks as intended on IE10!
(I still don't understand why it worked correctly on my localhost and not on the web server but at least the problem is solved)
I'm getting a weird issue involving IIS and IE, and I'll try to describe it clearly.
I have a regular html-css-js/jquery website that I've developed locally. Now that it's ready, I'm trying to deploy it on a server.
Once it's hosted on the server, I see two problems in IE only:
The rendering is slightly different: there's a few pixels of additional white space all around my website (so the contents is actually more 'compressed' than when viewed locally).
Some JS issues: I'm using the Impromptu jQuery popup plug-in, and the callback I specify in its 'loaded' event pre-populates its forms fields. In FF it works, but in IE the fields don't get populated until I close the popup and open it again. This worked locally on all browsers.
As weird as it sounds, the text in my jQuery popup dialog does not seem to have the 'ClearType' technology applied. The text is like '1 pixel thin' and not anti-aliased like everywhere else.
I have uploaded my website to another server and it runs perfectly fine. The issue is that I need to put it on the first server and I don't know what's wrong. Both servers are on Win 2k3 with IIS 6, .NET 3.5.
Any pointers as to what is going wrong? Thanks a lot.
Make sure that the "security zone" in the Internet Explorer status bar is the same when viewing the site between the 2 servers.
Use the IE developer toolbar to debug your css. Could also be a caching issue if it looks like an older version.
