Html and JavaScript for all browsers

[Saad Alam]

Hi,

I am developing a web application using asp.net 3.5 and testing in IE 6. I want to make sure that my html looks the same in all browsers and the javascript also performs same functionality in all browsers or at least in IE 6, IE 7 and FireFox2.0. How can i achieve this ?

It would be very nice of you if u can provide me a link where comparison of html and javascript for most of the modern browsers is provided.

Thanks in advance,

Saad Alam

HTML won't cause you any problems. Javascript has quite a few. w3schools.com has the javascript functions and what works in which browsers. quirksmode.com also has a lot of good info.

the main problem will be with fonts, tables if you use .css which is the standard in building a html, htm site. Some folks build their sites using .css others will use the html coding and not use .css to create their site.
Use drhowarddrfine advice list above and look at w3schools

Using IE as your test browser will cause you more grief than anything else.

Thanks drhowarddrfine and nomad. Now im testing on both FireFox 2.0 and IE 6.0 although its very time consuming and hectic. Is there is still chance that my web application wont work in IE 7.

If you use Firefox for your initial testing, chances are your page will work in all the modern browsers and maybe even IE7. With some luck, it will work in IE6, too, but the bugs are well known and so are the "hacks" to fix it.

Test often while you code. Don't wait till you are finished. Validate both your html and css, too. If you can't figure something out, come back here. Remember that we will need to see the complete markup or have a link to help. But ask javascript questions on the javascript board or the .net board for .net.

Good advice drhowarddrfine esp. the part about testing it, if there is a mistake in the coding at an earlier stage we will be able to help you faster rather than read all the code a the end product
