Search for web standards on google. Basically, xHTML 1.0 strict or HTML 4.0 Strict doctypes will give you standards based rendering across browsers.\ CSS2 is your presentation layer. HTML/xHTML gives your content meaning (search for structural HTML) CSS2 works well in most modern browsers. IE6 is an exception (it was built in 2001), IE7 is better but not perfect. Design your web page in Firefox first, then work on IE after.

I have had people working for me before developing sites and they have always told me that developing sites for multi-browser accessibility is a very difficult job. I have even known some people to develop different pages for different browsers, or to place lots of code to make sure that the site looks the same on all browsers. However, i find it diifcult to believe that there isnt a standard way of programming which if done correctly means the pages will look the same across all browsers. I have recently heard that as long as you develop your css and xhtml to the correct standards then this will not be a problem. i would really appreciate some advice on this if possible, and if it is possible to develop pages for this in xhtml and css can anyone provide any links to any sites where i can read more on how to achieve this, as i cant seem to find many good guides . thanks for any help or advice you can provide. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:254564 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
