CSS Cross Browser Compatibility Resources

Best way to make cross browser CSS?

Hi folks,

could anyone point me in the direction of a good on-line css cross compatibility resource.

Thanks.

Delvsie.

Sure,

1. CSS Validator [jigsaw.w3.org]
   
2. ODP Category [dmoz.org]

In order of importance and preference.

The key to browser cross-compatability with CSS is not a tool or even (although it's a damn good start) a validator though. Getting CSS right, requires understanding and the only way to gain that is to learn CSS by hand and to follow places like this and the other good CSS resource sites out there for more...

Unfortunatley, in my experience, tools just don't cut it half as well as real knowledge of the tech.

Guys, thanks for your comments and recommendations.

Nick, could you give some links to the other resources that you elude to.

Cheers.

Best CSS resources I've found for browser issues, work-arounds and just for all things CSS in general, are Nick_w, SuzyUK, DrDoc, Hester, &c, &c -- i.e., almost all of the people that contribute to this forum!

Don't get all bigheaded now peoples, I'm just being honest -- ya'll are great! This is my second favorite place to lurk on WW (second only because I'm a script geek ;) ). Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated!

...meaning: "Your code may validate, and you may have used it according to the CSS standard set forth by W3C, but the page may still break hopelessly in several browsers."

I just want to second what Nick said. Understanding CSS is the only true path to cross browser compatibility. So, how does one gain this knowledge? By testing, testing, and testing.
