Themes/skins with multiple browsers

Hi,
We're developing an application that should render well on both IE and
Firefox and should be based on Themes. Does anyone have any good tips on how
to maintain different CSS-files for different browsers and still use themes?
How/where do you select the CSS to use as this is autogenerated?
Thanks,

Yes, don't do it. There is (almost) no reason to maintain different CSS
files for different browsers. The one real exception here is NN4, but
using the @.import hack is common practice.
Unless you have a very complex design, you can design a site with only
minimal hacks to work on multiple browsers. You should just stay away from
features that are problematic.
It's very difficult to accurately sniff which browser is which, and serve
the correct CSS. You can't rely on browser agent strings, because many
people have their non-IE browsers configured to report that they are IE.

Thread issues with ASP

Hi there,

I was wondering if ASP.net has the same issues with threads as JSP and servlets. Is the same instance used by multiple threads in asp.

What I'm wondering about specifically, is the dangers in creating certain session specific objects at a global level in my code behind file.

Can someone let me know if I need to take any measures to protect my code?

Thank all

Kind Regards

SimonAs far as I know ASP.NET is thread safe. Anybody else which has experience with this?
Thanks for that

Simon

Thread timeouts

Hi,
I have web based email management system where a user can login, create an
email and then send it to multiple recipients.
The email component I use generates all of the physical .eml files when they
click send. When a user is sending to 120, 000 recipients at once the page
times out.
I was thinking of using a separate worker thread for creating the email
messages (I dont have to worry about sending because the files get put into
a pickup directory that gets read by an SMTP component). My main concern
is - would the thread timeout at all, when trying to generate so many files?
Thanks in advance
GrahamHi Graham:
Threads do not time out, so I wouldn't have this concern.
Applications can timeout, however. I can configure an application pool in
Win2003 to shut down an app after x minutes of inactivity. A background thre
ad
isn't considered activity though - only incoming requests are. Something
to look for in your config.
