Thanks Bill (again): All Web browsers are not created equal, and that means headaches for people who develop Web sites. "The developer runs into a situation where there is very little code that works across all browsers," says Owen Briggs, a member of the steering committee of the Web Standards Project and co-author of Cascading Style Sheets: Separating Content from Presentation.The World Wide Web Consortium, widely known as W3C, publishes standards for the hypertext markup language (HTML) and cascading style sheets (CSS) used to create Web pages. Like many other technology standards, though, these are inconsistently observed. Same goes for the JavaScript language used to create special effects on sites.
