What is Cross-browser Compatibility?

Cross-browser compatibility is the capacity of a website or web application to operate across many browsers and degrade gracefully in the absence or absence of browser features. Cross-browser compatibility is more about site functionality than it appears. This means that the site should work equally well in different web environments. As everyone has their own preferred web browser, every website owner should ensure that their website is cross-browser compatible. Why is Cross-browser compatibility important? 1. Keep the Website Simple:- One can avoid the intense use of elements in the markup coding such as the usage of list elements (ul,ol) for creating menus instead of P elements. 2. Validation of Website Code:- One can use a validator to check HTML and CSS coding as it will be very inflexible to sort out in case of any invalid code before uploading the site 3. Different Browsers Quirks:- It’s important to test the website in different browsers like IE, Firefox, Opera, etc because all the latest browsers have some quirks mode associated with them. 4. Sort out Internet Explorer Issues:- After creating a great web design, you can also use JavaScript or CSS hacks. Conditional comments are a better alternative to hacks. 5. Providing Fallbacks:- JavaScript and Flash are supported by some browsers. It is always favorable to provide fallbacks in the case of browsers that don't support features like these.
