Not all controls support every property defined in this class. For specific information about whether a property is supported, see the documentation for the specific control.

Some properties in this class render differently, depending on the browser. Some properties do not render at all, while others render, but have no effect. The System.Web.Configuration.HttpCapabilitiesBase.TagWriter property of the System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities object determines the way in which a Web server control renders. For browsers that support HTML 4.0, the System.Web.Configuration.HttpCapabilitiesBase.TagWriter property will contain a regular System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities object, and most properties will be rendered using HTML 4.0 style attributes. Browsers that are not known to support HTML 4.0 will use the System.Web.UI.Html32TextWriter object. This will automatically map the style attributes to any relevant HTML 3.2 tag attributes. In some cases, such as with the WebControl.ForeColor property, the style attributes will be converted into additional tags, such as <font> tags. In some cases, there will be no mapping performed. For specific information about how a property is rendered in different browsers, see the documentation for the specific property.
