Cross browser nuisance

Posted February 11th, 2008 at 03:42 PM by RohanShenoy
Its good to have choices between web browsers. But whats sucks horribly is that every browser has its own way to rendering content, which is different from other browsers. For eg: I just scripted a code which works all together different on IE, FF and Opera. Writing the code is not a headache if you get the logic clearly but getting it to work smoothly with all browsers is a fairly prohibitive challenge.

Just as we have (X)HTML, CSS , RSS validation, isn't there any test which validates the browser's rendering abilities? Opera may be a good browser, even I used it, but it does not mean I will allow it to break my code!

Why aren't all browsers at same rendering abilities?

I put a penny in a jar for every day I don't curse the cross-browser battle.

So far the jar's empty

with 55% market share, maybe IE should be the standard we develop to?

This is my thought also /* ducks also */...

Obviously the w3 consortium standards means that IE is violating them but how many people have to do the one thing for it to become standard ? IE did have market share much greater than 50% for some time so what's to day that every other browser wasn't deviating from the standard set by Internet Explorer... The logic is there, the current standards were redefined long after IE was well established coming along and making its code rendering invalid.. lol

I don't mind coding for different browsers, it's what makes it fun

@ rohan, the w3 recommendations are for user agents as well so they DO have something they can aim for. It is a recommendation though, not a solid law.

I'm not mad at IE, otherwise I would be angry at most of the user's of my site who are happy with what they use. It's their standard.
