Cross-browser and multi-browser

Cross-browser refers to the ability for a website, web application, HTML construct or client-side script to support all the web browsers. The term cross-browser is often confused with multi-browser. Multi-browser means something works with several web browsers. Cross-browser means something works with all versions of all browsers to have existed since the web began.

Hm, just some thoughts.. Support for IE5.5 ? Forget it.

Still with the ugly CSS code ?

CSS can’t always be beautiful. You name the div’s with your pet’s name, you name the classes as your first girlfriend’s name and so on, but don’t you need to maintain the CSS code ?

One month later you need to use FireBug for more than 5 minute to figure out your own code. Because you can’t name it right. And because you can’t make your own style of coding.

  .c66l, .c66r { width: 66.666% }
  .c75l, .c75r { width: 75% }
  .c38l, .c38r { width: 38.2% }
  .c62l, .c62r { width: 61.8% }

Make your own style. I’ll name this box as this, no matter what layout. I’ll give this input button this class, etc. Each layout has different CSS elements, but the basics remains. And so the naming part, too.
