Different web browser are compatible with different technologies and even some browser have different syntax while using same technologies, hence it is optimal that your website should completely cross browser compatible to every browser so that it can be look more or less the same in every browsers. However most of people use IE, Firefox and so on Netscape Navigators and Opera., a web page can be interpreted differently depending on the browser and the version that people are commonly using. However Mozilla seems conform strictly to the W3C’s guidelines Internet Explorer is more relaxed on this.
You can make your website cross browser compatible using these techniques;
* Do not use browser specific HTML tags and features as these only work in the browser they were created for.
* Validate your HTML/XHTML coding and your cascading style sheets Through W3C syntax validation services.
* Use only standard compliant code & comply the we standards guideline.
Once you finish the development and the design of the site, you can use this tools http://browsershots.org/ before going live, this will enable you to view your screeshots in different browsers in different screen resolution and plugin. However it is true that you can’t please everyone that same applicable to Internet browsers thoug it seems pretty much difficult to make your site render the same way on each and every browser available.
