So I'm half way through overseeing a large project in ASP.NET 2.0. My
superiors have decided that it would be nice if we ensured the site worked
on all the major platforms (as they see it: IE, FireFox, and Safari).
We've made heavy usage of the new MENU control and other intrinsic 2.0
controls.... nothing fancy! just using ASP.NET's built-in controls and
very nice, pervasive, and clean usage of CSS.

Now I find after more testing that the Menu control doesn't scroll in
FireFox if its submenus spill past view? What? It works fine in IE.

And now I read that there are even worse problems with Safari.... and that
these problems aren't the client browser's fault (which would render stuff
fine if ASP.NET actually sent the page to it) but ASP.NET's controls dumb,
retarded, not-thought-through browser "detection" mechanisms.

Is this true? Come on now! Anyone else have experiences with this....
ya'lll can't be programming solely for IE I hope? ;-)
