Test in all browsers

There are many different browsers out in cyberspace. We all have our favorite browser. However, to design a good Web site you need to be able to test your site in at least the major browsers.

HTML is an interpreted language. That means that each browser is free to interpret the tags however they like. While they are free to do this, there is a set of standards that they are supposed to stick to. However, I.E. is infamous for not coding to the standards. Therefore, a page that looks OK in I.E. may look really bad in a browser such as FireFox.

And even if you simply code everything to the standards that doesn't guarantee it is going to look correct either.

The simple message here is to test your page in as many different browsers as you can.
