be browser compatibility. Your website may look great
when viewed with Internet Explorer, but when viewed
through Netscape Navigator, everything may not be formatted
properly.
All web browsers are not created equally. View your site
through different browsers and screen resolutions so you will
see how your visitors will view your site.
A good way to see how your website will look through
both browsers, is to download and install a copy of both
Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
Netscape - http://www.netscape.com/download/
Microsoft - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp?
Visit the following websites to view your website through
different browsers and screen resolutions:
Site Inspector - Check your web pages for HTML
validity and browser compatibility.
http://www.siteinspector.com
NetMechanic - Provides a variety of free services for
your web site including; browser compatibility testing,
graphic file size reduction, link check, HTML check,
load time check, spell check and more.

Make sure you view your first web page in different
browsers and screen resolutions. Once you get it looking
great for everyone, you can use it as a template for the
rest of your website. This technique can save you a great
deal of time.
