    It easily finds all the issues with your website which is also important for the SEO for your site. You should try to make your site 100% passing without any errors.

      CSS Browser Selector

      that lets you write browser-conditional css so you can tweak the site for other browsers. There's also a tool called css3pie which enables css3 features for older versions of internet explorer.

      Also, avoiding using too much relative positioning in your css helps keep things neater across browsers.

      Using a fixed width is easier to keep the look consistent across browsers/resolutions, but it's not the only way.

    There are benefits to both fixed-width and percentage. Percentage allows your page to scale to whatever resolution screen the client has. The extent of this however will be limited by the content, and whether that scales also. Varying screen sizes would result in the amount of text per line changing, and this can affect the layout considerably depending on how its implemented.

    Fixed width means you have a uniform layout, but if you fix the width at a size larger than the resolution of the client's screen, then they need to scroll both across as well as down to view your content, and this can be incredibly frustrating. To be safe, just pick a width of 800px, as usually standard screens in use these days are 800x600 or larger.

      Many problems you run into can be "fixed" by using a "fallback". For example, I wasn't able to get css gradient background to display in IE9. To fix it, I just added:
      Code:
       background-color:#4C8DBF;
      as a fallback for browsers that don't support support gradients. Here is the full code to give you a better idea.

      Code:
      /*fallback background */
background-color:#4C8DBF;
/* Safari 4-5, Chrome 1-9 */
  background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#4C8DBF), to(#7EB3DD));
  /* Safari 5.1, Chrome 10+ */
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #7EB3DD, #4C8DBF);
  /* Firefox 3.6+ */
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #7EB3DD, #4C8DBF);
  /* IE 10 */
  background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #7EB3DD, #4C8DBF);
  /* Opera 11.10+ */
  background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #7EB3DD, #4C8DBF);

    Hello,
    There are some steps you should keep in mind in order to make your website compatible to multiple browsers:
    1. Validate CSS using W3C CSS Validator.
    2. Check website in all browsers: Mozilla, IE, Chrome, Opera, Safari.
    3. If you encounter a bug, search the cause and fix it
    Good luck!
