VS 2005 : Firefox just as good (or bad) as IE

Pictures say more than a thousand words. This is a web page in VS 2003 and the result in IE and FireFox.

By stretching the labels I can have alligned columns. IE understands that, Firefox does not.

This is the same page in VS 2005

In VS I can stretch and alingn the labels. Firefox still doesn't understand. IE doesn't anymore either.

I know, the labels should be in a table. In my real world the rows of labels are the output of a datalist. Which is a one column table. You can fidle with the HTML to force more columns, my neighbour showed me how. Beep if you want me to delve into that. I still prefer wysiwyg behaviour.

Have you tried applying the browsercaps patch? It solved such errors on nearly every install.

That doesn't solve this one. This will be one of the places where asp.net is not W3C compliant and version 2 is.
But the web from designer still does not comply. :) And parts of my apps depend on the 1.1 style:(

Maybe, you need to aim your kick to VS!!!! its a normal thing: a Microsoft Designer working only on a Microsoft Browser. Thats the war, fighting with the standards, fighting against the evil i-do-what-i-want, isnt it?
A peaceful world?, its maybe too far.

I never develop my pages html in VS, I use dreamweaver and then I write the codebehinds in VS, the html output from VS is so horrible, and it mangles your code when you switch from design view to source view. I've been using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Beta, and it is much better about leaving your html intact.
