Because in my .NET implementations I do not run into this. Yes granted =
I don't use the various technologies that Microsoft does but in my book =
using enhanced products erroneously is worse then not using them at all. =
For example take a look at this page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/ado270/htm/ado28_securitydcrs.asp=
?frame=3Dtrue

Now if you turn JavaScripting off you will see the entire statement in =
the second gray block. With JavaScripting emabled you only see this =
much:

"This Website uses a data provider that may be unsafe. If you trust the"

You should see this, "This Website uses a data provider that may be =
unsafe. If you trust the Website, click OK, otherwise click Cancel."

The rest of the page is similarly corrupted. This is using 800 x 600 =
resolution which is what the majority of the world uses.

Now there are other places at Microsoft that have troubles such as this. =
For example it is often the case that when Microsoft has a box in the =
upper right that is a menu allowing quick access to related materials, =
that box will write over the text in the page making text in that area =
unreadable. Lately Microsoft has been addressing this issue the result =
of which is large amounts of white space.

Here is an example of this:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb%3Ben-us%3B304894

So is this an issue with the .NET technology or is it just poor web =
design? Thanks.

Poor Web Development. MSDN has become very problematic lately.
In fact, all Microsoft properties have been flakey while in transition
from ASP to ASP.NET.
