Re: [LUG] display of web site in different browsers

hi ray,

check out nick's site at http://valet.webthing.com/

the important thing is to make sure your site is www.w3.org compliant - 
as they are the group who set web/HTML standards - most browsers aim to 
be compliant with the standards - so - make your HTML sorrect against 
the standards not against specific browsers.

if you write HTML you should consider using XHTML.  for example, 
bluefish can be used to write pages which are XHTML strict.  these pages 
can then be validated against the DTD and you can be confident that they 
will be 'correct'.

HTH,

kev
