Question

I am on the stage where I need to make my website cross-browser compatible.
I need tips on how to get started.

I have developed my website on firefox, so it works great with firefox.

I guess I have to download a couple of versions of all major browsers now, right?
Then just test each browser one by one?

Should I do this before uploading the entire website onto a server or afterwards?

All tips and SW which makes this easier is appreciated.

BTW, it is a classifieds website using MySql, Solr, PHP, js etc…

Thanks

Cross-browser compatibility is best planned for in advance, as there are ways to build your site that will make it much easier.

• Consider using a CSS reset script like Eric Meyer’s.
• Consider using a JavaScript library like jQuery.
• You can make use of Adobe BrowserLab to do cross-browser testing.
• Consider the mobile audience.
