Hi Everybody
Please can someone advise me how to code for cross browsing as my website is playing tricks when shown on different browsers.
I am just starting out so any help would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks

When it come about IE maybe if you try an multi browser emullator like multiIE or something you’ll speed up the testing process. And it comes you a debug toolbar as well.
I would say there’s few opportunities where a hack is necessary, conditional comments (which I consider a filter rather than a hack against traditional glitch fixes) is probably the best way to deal with IE when things start going wonky in cases where other browsers show the validated code correctly (when IE doesn’t).
Code according to the W3C recommendations (HTML, CSS) first. Then test and apply hacks, where necessary, for any non-compliant browsers you wish to support. That mainly means IE7 and perhaps IE6, these days.
IE8 and the latest versions of Opera, Firefox, Chrome and Safari all support the standards very well. None is entirely bug-free, but unless you do very odd things they will usually work.
