Cross Browser (CSS) Compatibility (setting Browser Specific Property values of controls)

You would obviously have come across the “Browser Compatibility” issues many times while designing a webpage. For example, assigning a CSS class to any control may render well with IE but it may not get rendered that perfect way in Mozilla; and if you fix for Mozilla then IE rendering may get affected. But, we not only need to manage in between IE and Mozilla, but we also need to think about other browsers as well like Opera, Safari and Netscape etc, etc.

Here is one trick how you can you apply “Browser Specific” CSS to a control. That is, while assigning CssClass or Class to any control you can just prefix the browser name followed by colon to specify the Browser Specific CSS Class.

For Example, look at the below snippet,

The Life

To Pooja…

Rescue me from the mire
Whisper words of desire
Rescue me – darling rescue me
With your arms open wide
Want you here by my side
Come to me – darling rescue me
When this world’s closing in
There’s no need to pretend
Set me free – darling rescue me

I don’t wanna let you go
So I’m standing in your way
I never needed anyone like
I’m needin’ you today

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you how
good we are together?
Do I have to say the words

Rescue me from despair
Tell me you will be there
Rescue me – darlin’ rescue me

Every dream that we share
Every cross that we bear
Come to me – darlin’ rescue me

you are simply great!

Strip out HTML Tags to Display Plain Text in XSLT

I was having a requirement with my on-going project, in which I need to display the Blog RSS on Home Page. I used BlogEngine.NET with some visual modification.
Now, on home page I need to display latest 4 entries of entered Blogs which I easily get thru RSS link from BlogEngine.NET.

But, the issue comes when I need to render the contents; that is latest 4 Blog entrties. They are entered using FCKEditor tool, So, I was getting text with HTML tags.
Because of BlogEngine.NET uses FCKEditor while posting a new Blog Entry, there are useless <p>, <div>, <Span>, <font> and &nbsp; tags and values and fonts with different size and colors comes with the Blog Post entry. Specially, when people directly copy and paste some contents from another web source.

I need to Strip out these HTML tags and display Plain Text for a consistant look out on my home page, so these additional <p>, <div>, <Span>, <font> and &nbsp; tags would not blot on my home page. To display RSS entries, means simply create a RSS Feed Reader (I think I will blog on that also), I used XSLT file to format the RSS content.

I found below function in XSLT which will remove HTML tags from my Description Field from DB (which is filled from FCKEditor):
Below is the function to remove HTML tags:
