    I'm sure I'm going to get attacked for this, but Netscape users compromise a
    fairly small percentage of internet users, so I don't think it is
    unreasonable to not worry about them. There are some things that Netscape
    just can't do, that IE can - and because of this sometimes there is no
    choice but to use IE to provide certain functionality.

    Having said that, I think you can still use the .NET framework and utilitze
    its usefullness, but retain all the client side logic you've already written
    and not rely on the .NET validators. It might mean doing a little bit more
    by hand, but it might be worth it if a little bit more effort makes it easy
    for you to support all browsers.

    IE and Netscape (old and new versions). Now, all these validation control
    techniques make it extremely easy to program for IE, but they kinda suc.k
    for Netscape. For example, if the user clicks the "Login" button on a page
    with RequiredFieldValidators, in IE you get an instantanous response, as
    opposed to Netscape where a trip to the server is necessary.

    This requirement is not very important, but if possible, it should be done.
