sweet thanks...wow never realised quite how much changed!! - they support such different things.... so next question...how do people ensure that their pages look the same on each? - with so much difference between browsers you cant just use the bits they all support? or can you?..whats the best way to do it?

Unfortunately, there's no way to entirely accomplish that. Each browser interprets markup and CSS differently. To complicate matters, some users customize how their own machines display webpages! :)

 

The best way to ensure that as wide a cross section of people as possible see your site the way you intended, is to use XHTML instead of the old HTML and always check it with W3C's validator at http://validator.w3.org/. Don't use an editor to write your markup, as they usually bloat your code unnecessarily and generally don't output clean markup. Manually writing your code is fun! It's also a good idea to validate your CSS at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/.

 

There are other validators which come in quite handy like http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ to ensure that your site is rendered properly on various machines that disabled people use to access the Internet.

welbis, there's an editor that outputs clean XHTML markup which just might make your job a whole lot easier! For more info, click here: http://forums.xisto.com/
