PRB: Netscape Navigator 4.x Displays Square Boxes on Redraw When You View ASP.NET Pages
This article was previously published under Q309548
When text is redrawn on an ASP.NET Web page in Netscape
Navigator 4.
x, square boxes appear instead of the original text. This problem
does not occur in Netscape Navigator versions 6.0 and later.
ASP.NET uses a default encoding of UTF-8. This problem
occurs because Netscape Navigator 4.
x encounters problems when it redisplays UTF-8 encoded text.
To work around this problem, add the following text to
change the encoding for the affected ASP.NET Web page:
<%
Response.ContectEncoding = Encoding.ASCII
%>
To change the encoding in the entire Web Application project, change
the following line in the Web.config file from
<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />
to:
<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="ascii" />
A redraw can occur under the following circumstances:
- A menu has overlapped the text and has been
removed.
- Another window is placed over the text and is
removed.
- Any other instance in which text is hidden behind something
else.
To reproduce this problem, view an ASP.NET page in Netscape
Navigator 4.
x. The ASP.NET page must either render text from an included script
file or modify the original page by using script (that is, add or remove a
layer).

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
