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!

Microsoft MVP Award Program

About MVP Award Program
Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are exceptional technical community leaders from around the world who are awarded for voluntarily sharing their high quality, real world expertise in offline and online technical communities. Microsoft MVPs are a highly select group of experts that represents the technical community’s best and brightest, and they share a deep commitment to community and a willingness to help others.
MVPs tend to be early adopters of new technology and actively communicate their experiences to millions of other technology users. Through their extensive community activity, MVPs help others solve problems and discover new capabilities, helping people get the maximum value from their technology.

MVP Award
Each year, the technical community’s best and brightest are awarded as Microsoft MVPs in different Categories. Worldwide, there are over 100 million participants in technical communities; of these participants, there are fewer than 4,000 active Microsoft MVPs.

MVP Award Process (How to be an MVP?)
In order to receive the Microsoft MVP Award, MVP nominees undergo a rigorous review process. Technical community members, current MVPs, and Microsoft personnel may nominate candidates. A panel that includes MVP team members and product group teams evaluate each nominee’s technical expertise and voluntary community contributions for the past year. The panel considers the quality, quantity, and level of impact of the MVP nominee’s contributions. Active MVPs receive the same level of scrutiny as other candidates each year.

To – For my Nation

Sarfaroshi ki tamana ab hamare dil main hai..
Dekhna hai zor kitna bazu-e-qatil main hai..

Karta nahi kyon dusara kuch bat-chit..
dekhata hun main jise.. vo chup teri mahfil main hai..

Ai shahid-e-mulk-o-millat main tere upar nisar..
Ab teri himat ka charcha.. gair ki mahfil main hai..

Waqt ane de bata denge tujhe ai asman..
Ham abhi se kya batayen.. kya hamare dil main hai..

Khinch kar lai hain sabko qatl hone ki ummid..
Ashiqon ka aj jamghat kucha-e-qatil main hai..

Sarfaroshi ki tamana ab hamare dil main hai..
Dekhna hai zor kitna bazu-e-qatil main hai..

Hai liye hathiyar dushma taak main baitha udhar..
Aur hum tayiyaar hain.. seena liye apna idher..

Khoon se khelenge holi.. agar watan mushkil main hai..
Sarfaroshi ki tamana ab hamare dil main hai..

haant jinme ho junoon.. kat te nahi talwaar se..
Sar jo uth jaate hain.. woh jhukte nahi lalkaar se..

Aur bhadkega.. jo shoal sa hamare dil main hai..
Sarfaroshi ki tamana ab hamare dil main hai..

Hum to gharse nikle hi the.. bhand kar sar pe kafan..
Jaan hatheli pe liye.. lo badh chalen hain yeh kadam..

Zindagi to apni mehmaan.. maut ki mehfil main hai..
Sarfaroshi ki tamana ab hamare dil main hai..

Dil main toofano ki doli.. aur naso mein inklaab..
Hosh dushman ke uda denge.. humen roko na aaj..

Dur reh paaye jo humse.. DUM kahan manjil main hain..
Sarfaroshi ki tamana ab hamare dil main hai..

Dekhna hai zor kitna bazu-e-qatil main hai.
