FireFox Browser Issues With Asp.Net

 
Here's a guy who has become aware
of an issue with the Firefox browser
and ASP.NET:

Asp.Net and Firefox browser issues


He seems to be drawing information
from this web page here:

BrowserCaps and
other Browser Testing/Detection Resources

I don't pretend to understand all of this.
So often, I rely on people who know more
than I do. Other's know much much more
than I do about ASP.NET.

I suppose a good starting place for me
is to learn how to spell ASP.NET correctly.
On Microsoft's official site, it is spelled
in all caps:

The Official Microsoft ASP.NET Site

I checked to make sure that this really and
truly is the official site by looking at the
domain name registration for asp.net.
Indeed, Microsoft does own this domain.

Without people who know more than I, I would
be so lost. So, whenever I get the opportunity
to, I link to a web page or web site or blog
that knows more than I do.

What Is An ASPX File Extension?

 
There seems to be two basic file
formats for Microsoft's Active
Server Pages. There's .asp
and there is .aspx.

What's the difference?

Here's a web page that describes
the .aspx extension:

What is an ASPX File?

As the web page above says, .aspx
is for a ASP.NET application. That's
the new form of ASP. The old form
was just simply called ASP.

I suppose the lesson here is that sometimes
a new file format also gets a new face. In
this case, the new file format is the one
with the .aspx extension.

I'm using the term file format very
very loosely here. Neither one of these
file extensions is really a file format.
Rather, it is a file that contains programming
code for specific programming languages
offered by Microsoft.

So, comparing a .aspx file to a
.asp file, a .aspx file is
more likely to have the most up-to-date
code. Not a guarantee, just a probability.

I'm not an expert on Microsoft products.
Just trying to learn myself.

To write more about this, I'd probably
have to immerse myself in the Microsoft
programming culture. In all probability,
they have their own way of expressing
themselves in the Microsoft world. In
the Microsoft programming culture, they
also probably have their own generally
accepted solutions to common problems.

That's how programming cultures work.
