Hello,

I have an Asp:Label which CSS class is "style":

.style
{
border-color: #303030;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
display: block;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
text-indent: 0px;
}

Only the "display:block", "margin" and "padding" are applied to the
label. The text and border styles are no applied.

I tried with asp:textbox and same thing happens.

I am using:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

It works if I use:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

The problem is I need to use the first one.
Can somebody explain to me what is going on here?

Thanks,
Miguel

The HTML 4.x is IE's "quirks mode". It's sloppy. By using the XHTML DOCTYPE
you're telling it that it should use a set of different "rules" to parse
your markup and apply styles to it. That's why you're seeing different
results.

Are you using the CssClass in the label to specify your CSS?
For borders and co use the properties of the label.

Yes.

Something like <asp:label id="mylabel" runat="server" cssclass="myclass"
...

Thanks,
Miguel
