What is a Cross-browser site?

When a software work on difference kinds of operating systems, it is called a crossplatform program. Likely, if a website works for different browsers, it is a cross-browser site.

The work of a website developer is much easier if browsers were the same. Most internet browsers are similar in function and design, most of the time they have many minute differences in recognizing and displaying websites. Example, Safari uses a different HTML rendering engine than Internet Explorer or Firefox or Chrome. Meaning the browsers display the same webpage with slightly different text formatting. Since not all internet browsers read the same HTML tags, some formats may not be read at all in a non-compatible browser. Moreover, browsers translate JavaScript differently, which means one script may work in a browser, but not in another.
Due to the varied ways Web browsers interpret HTML and JavaScript, developers test and change their sites to work with different browsers. For example, if a certain website looks good in Firefox, but is erroneous in Explorer, the developer should change the formatting so that it works well with Internet Explorer. Consequently, the page may then appear differently in Firefox. The easiest and simplest way to fix browser incompatibility is to use basic coding technique working in both browsers. But if this solution is impossible, the developer may need to add codes that reads the type of browser used, then outputs a custom HTML or JavaScript for that browser.

For simple and basic websites, it is easy to do cross-browser site. However, complicated sites with lots of HTMLs and JavaScripts might need extra coding techniques for it to be compatible with multiple browsers. Some developers even make completely different pages for different browsera. While CSS formatting helped standardize the way webpages appear across multiple browsers, there are still several inconsistencies between browsers. Therefore, cross-browser testing and design continues to be a necessity of webpage development.


Having your site displayed correctly will make your visitors see correctly your website which you really worked hard for. Aside from that, the reputation of your site would be good if they see that your site has no errors in displaying.
