Designing for Different Browsers
The html standards
and tags are not compatible across browsers and platforms. HTML language
and browser development are not occurring at the same rate. What this
means is that as a web editor the following must be considered in respect
to web browsers when designing web pages:
-
It is
advisable to have both IE and Netscape installed on your computer
to view your pages with both browsers.
-
Mac and
PC do not display information the same way so it is advisable to view
your pages on the Mac platform with IE and Netscape as well as on
the PC platform.
-
Differences
in monitor resolution and font size affect appearance of text and
objects on the page.
-
Internet
Explorer and Netscape, the two most common browsers, do not display
all the html tags the same way.
-
Scripting
and dynamic content is not understood by all versions of all the browsers.
This means that if you use a script or dynamic element on the page,
it must degrade to the lower browser version without losing the content
and information on the page.
