Firefox compatibility for VS.net Web apps?

Hi there,
One of my clients is a software development shop that only uses
Microsoft products. In this case, as in most, they have used Visual
Studio.NET to create a scheduling application. Perhaps too late, they
found out THEIR client is running Macs, and will be using Mac IE to
view the site. This issue has come up in the past, where they'll build
sites that look and work as expected in WinIE, but break in other
browsers.

Now here's the kicker. As a Mac and Linux user and non-Microsoft kind
of guy in general, they've asked me to consult them on how to make
their application compatible with Mac IE in particular, but a nice
gold standard like Firefox generally. The correct answer,
unfortunately, isn't "use a different development environment!" Given
that we're stuck with MS, I need to find a resource that shows what
elements of VS.NET break browser compatibility. An extensive search on
the web has yielded nothing. Strangely, all the MS hoopla suggests
that there are no browser compatibility issues when using .NET.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Aaron.
