No. That's like asking for a magic wand that can make everybody like you.

Cross-browser compatibility is a matter of design, and understanding that works on which browser and how to accommodate the differences. Some browser understand certain CSS commands a certain yet, while others use a slightly different set of parameters for the same result, for example. Others may have certain limits in Javascript that requires a bit of special code to detect and adapt.

There is going to be no magic spell that'll suddenly make your website compatible with all browsers. Heck, different browsers have different starting font-sizes and default fonts. So nothing will display exactly the same. Enough said.

I suggest webref.com if you need to learn a lot about the web design topics.

I rely on Opera 9.2 for the best indication of cross-browser compatibilty.

Try the lastest build of Opera : http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog

It supports all major Web standards currently in use, including CSS 2.1, XHTML 1.1, HTML 4.01, WML 2.0, ECMAScript, DOM 2 and SVG 1.1 basic.

Opera now includes a developer console that can be added into the browser with many new features. The new tools include DOM inspector, JavaScript inspector, CSS editor and HTTP header inspector.

The DOM tool lets you inspect and alter various various aspects of the document.

The JavaScript tool lets you inspect and search the JavaScript environment initialized on the web page.

The CSS tool lets you inspect and alter any Cascading Style Sheets attached to the page. Further, the tools allow the altered stylesheets to be exported for later use.

The HTTP tool allows you to inspect the HTTP headers sent from the server, inspect and edit cookies, and allows logging of XMLHttpRequests sent by the document.

Check out Dev Opera http://dev.opera.com/ which is a community resource site where developers can share tips, tricks, extensions and more.

not an easy thing. the problem is a two part problem:
1. the html and css look exactly the same
2. javascript

the first one is easy and come with error and trail while designing a site or based on experience.

the second is tough since each browser has its own way of processing javascript. best solution would be to use open codes that are cross platform or use tools that generate such code. examples would be dreamweaver and macromedia contribute.

There is no such script.
You must do the proper alignment of the pages which supports all the browsers.
