Web Design Basics - Cross Browser Designs

There are hundreds of thousands of different web browsers available. If a web site is “Cross Browser Compatible”, it will appear the same on various web browsers. For Example:

  • Internet Explorer
  • Netscape Navigator,
  • Firefox
  • Opera
  • Etc.

Clearly, being 100% compatible with every browser is impossible. But it is possible to design your web page so it will work in the most popularly used browsers.

To do that, your local web designer should employ clean codes that conforms to the W3C standards to get consistent results across all browser platforms. The general theory behind the standards is that if each browser adheres to the same set of rules, you will get more or less consistent results in all of the existing browsers.

Conforming can be a real challenge. It will limit some of the neater effects available in specific browsers. There are online code validators available. You can validate HTML code at http://validator.w3.org , the validator can also validate your CSS and links. The service is free.
