Are you cross-browser compatible?
Author:

The question of cross browser compatibility is a common topic among Web developers. Should you or should you not make your website cross-browser accommodating? The answer is yes and especially if you are an e-business. As Ripley would say, "believe it or not" but at the time of this article slightly

more than 20% of Internet users use a browser other than IE. This information comes from W3Schools.com, which has been keeping tabs on browser usage since January 2002.
How do you shape up?
Use of alternative browsers has only been going up, they are no longer a niche community made up of "techies" and anti-Microsoft advocates, they are your everyday user, your potential customers.

If you haven't done so already I would suggest that you look at your website in some of the other common browsers available. These include:

Mozilla: This is currently the top browser after IE6 and it is one of the most feature rich browsers available today. I would personally suggest looking into Firefox Mozilla's next generation browser as apposed to the entire Mozilla suite due to its end users friendliness and feature rich environment.

Opera: The Opera browser has been making its way up the competitive ladder of the browser arena since 2000 when Opera Software ASA released Opera 5. Though it is free to download and use if you want to access some of the browser's features you are required to pay a small registration fee.
