Web Browser Notes

Links to various browsers:

Web browsers are notorious among web designers for interpreting the markup code behind web pages differently, and it is possible to spend countless hours testing one’s pages in the many browsers and browser versions available, and designing pages with convoluted “spaghetti” code in an attempt to make formatting appear consistent across browsers and platforms.

In an effort to use our time more efficiently, we have finally come to the conclusion that we should write our site pages more simply, solely in accord with web standards long-established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the independent body that develops the formatting standards that web browsers attempt to implement. This does not mean that we do not test our pages; on the contrary, we try hard to ensure a clean and consistent look in a wide variety of browsers.

The pages on this site conform to the W3C Cascading Style Sheets level 2 (12-May-1998) and XHTML 1.0 (26-Jan-2000) specifications. The formatting of our site should appear as we intend in browsers that also conform to these specifications.
