How can you design a website so that it is compatible with both Internet Explorer and Firefox?

Answer 1

For basic stuff, you'll be OK if you avoid using Microsoft "extensions" to HTML. Stick with Javascript 1.3, or 1.2 if you want to be compatible back to IE 4.x. It's a little trickier with CSS, because Microsoft's compliance with the standards there is hit-and-miss. However, if you absolutely have to have a feature, you can often find a workaround on the Web.

Finally, you just have to accept that things will look slightly different in different browsers or with different user settings.

Answer 2

Its possible there is a web standard called XHMTL it doesnt take anything special but works better across all web browsers than anything else really. When you have your code you run it in a special checker [XHTML validiator] and it will tell you what to fix on it to make it more compatible. As far as using a specific program I couldn't tell you, I code by hand.

Link to the site. I recommend getting a XHTML book.
