Question

It’s always a big problem for web designers to make their page look good in all the commonly used browsers. What are the best ways to deal with this fact?

Answer 1

For CSS:

1. Use a reset (like Meyer or YUI) to “level the playing field” before your style is applied
2. Style for the weirdest browser that you have to support (like IE6), make it look right, then change what you need to for more modern browsers. Trust me, this is much easier than doing it the other way around!

For Javascript, I’d use a framework like jQuery or YUI since they go a long way in abstracting away most of the browser-specific quirks you’re likely to encounter.

Good luck!
