Cross Browser Compatibility

January 21st, 2009

One of the criteria for the technology portion of the contest is ensuring your website is compatible in multiple browsers.

Here is a neat program that will allow you to see how your site will render in different versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer.   Beginning with IE 5.5 Microsoft browsers began rendering what I would consider “modern” web standards including CSS.  When developing a website in 2009, you really don’t need to worry about programming for browsers before 6.0 in the IE platform.

You should also be testing all your sites in:

Mozilla Firefox: http://www.getfirefox.com

Apple Safari: http://www.apple.com/safari

You might also want to… test your sites in Google Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome) and even in mobile browsers since more and more people are surfing the web using their Windows Mobile browsers, iPhones, and Blackberry.
