Server control width won't apply with IE11 ?

Question

I have this simple server control with a valid Width attribute : ( asp.net 4 , vs2010 )

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TXT_UserName" Width="250px"></asp:TextBox> On all browsers (all + ie<11) it does render as it should with the appropriate Width

But with ie11 ( windows 8.1 ) it wont render as it should : (it's even not in the view source ) :

enter image description here

Here is how I see it in other browsers ( including ie<11)

I've already added (for past problems which are now solved) the App_Browsers folder with the appropriate files for compatibility with IE versions :

enter image description here

Question :

Why I'm not seeing the width attribute and how can I fix it ?

My same issue was solved with the latest ie.browser suggestions from this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/a/19585339/1364780 . I know you already mentioned this, but you may want to doublecheck against the ie.browser code posted there. — JackArbiter, Dec 05 '13 at 21:00

Hmm...can't reproduce your error, and I don't have any special App_Browser folder, though I'm on VS2012 (4.5):

<asp:TextBox ID="styletextbox1" runat="server" Width="250px"></asp:TextBox>

Render Source (ie11):

<input name="ctl00$MainContent$styletextbox1" type="text" id="MainContent_styletextbox1" style="width:250px;" />

Dev tools (ie11):

So our diff are:

VS2012
4.5
App_Browser

Hth...

I had the same issue and fixed. Your App_Browsers folder should contain: firefox.browser, ie.browser, and ie11.browser

The ie11.browser content:

<browsers>
  <browser id="IE11" parentID="Mozilla">
    <identification>
        <userAgent match="Trident\/7.0; rv:(?'version'(?'major'\d+)(\.(?'minor'\d+)?)(?'letters'\w*))(?'extra'[^)]*)" />
        <userAgent nonMatch="IEMobile" />
    </identification>

    <capture>
        <userAgent match="Trident/(?'layoutVersion'\d+)" />
    </capture>

    <capabilities>
        <capability name="browser"              value="IE" />
        <capability name="layoutEngine"         value="Trident" />
        <capability name="layoutEngineVersion"  value="${layoutVersion}" />
        <capability name="extra"                value="${extra}" />
        <capability name="isColor"              value="true" />
        <capability name="letters"              value="${letters}" />
        <capability name="majorversion"         value="${major}" />
        <capability name="minorversion"         value="${minor}" />
        <capability name="screenBitDepth"       value="8" />
        <capability name="type"                 value="IE${major}" />
        <capability name="version"              value="${version}" />
    </capabilities>
</browser>
