Problems that need documenting!

So, again, mostly for myself, but perhaps it will help others as well. I ran into this bizzare problem with a GrdiView, drop down, and IE9 today. I don't think it has anything to do with a GridView btw. When I would select my drop down, go to choose a value, the drop down would loose focus and disappear. It doesn't happen with any other browser that I tested. To fix this problem I had to add a backgroup color to the drop down control. You got that right, backgroud:white; The second problem that I ran into with the GridView was the scroll position wasn't being honored on IE9, and Mac Safari and IE. Googled for a while and finally found an uncommon feature. Asp.Net has browser senseing code in the framework. Well, when a new browser is released sometimes that code can become outdated. So to add fixes you use the app_browser folder and .browser file. Google ".browser file" and I am sure you will find a ton of information on this.
