Compatibility for multiple browsers is crucial for most designers. When designing try to check in each of the following browsers.

• Multiple IE* – Internet Explorer versions 3 – 6.
• IE 7 – Internet Explorer version 7.
• FF2 – FireFox version 2.
• Opera – Opera version 9.
• Safari – Safari beta version 3.
• Avant – Avant version 11.5
• Full list of other used browsers at Wikipedia
• Lynx 2 – Lynx text browser

* Testing in lower versions of IE than version 6 is pointless. They are almost never used.

Each browser may apply different styles to your pages so it's best to check through this browser list to make sure your site is compatible with all browsers.

You may notice that firefox default margins and padding will not allow you to have divs where you want them! To counter this you can put the following at the top of your stylesheet.

 * {margin: 0; padding: 0} 

A warning though, the asterix is a universal indicator, meaning that it applies to all elements!

Hope this helps, happy designing!
