There are so many different browsers around these days and they all read and render web code in slightly different ways. The two most notable browsers, Firefox and Internet Explorer use different methods to render a web page.

Firefox reads and renders pages that are W3W compliant with little problem. Internet Explorer has been considered a bit of a renegade over the years, not rendering pages correctly even though they are W3W compliant. They are not the only two browsers in use. Other browsers include:

• Safari
• Opera
• Flock
• Chrome

Chrome is the new browser from Google and seems to be compatible with all W3W compatible web sites.

There are several free utilities on the net that you can use to check on browser compatibility. A simple search will find most of them. You should do a regular check on website to ensure that your web design is still compatible with the most recent browsers.
