Browser Compatibility - the Challenge for PSD to XHTML
In the world of web design, the increasing importance of proper coding in PSD to XHTML is undeniable.
The number of browsers available as well as new, updated browser versions continues to expand, each one with different coding requirements. Keeping up can be a real challenge. Hence, many people creating websites will choose to concern themselves with browser compatibility between only the most commonly used browsers: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and perhaps Google Chrome. Each one has its strong points and its following.
The Answer for Browser Compatibility
If you are someone who is familiar with basic XHTML, you might be tempted to try to do the coding yourself. Knowing the importance of browser compatibility, you’re going to try to pick a coding standard that works across the broadest selection of browsers. Unfortunately, the world of PSD to XHTML is filled with potential pitfalls. You may not be aware that IE5, for example, has no built-in functionality to support <div> elements, which means that XHTML won’t work. You’ll inevitably find yourself frustrated as code that displayed flawlessly in one browser comes up distorted in another. In that case some programmers may decide to use Browser Hack to fix it, but this should really only be used as a last resort and does not qualify as true browser compatibility.
The safest route is simply to outsource your design work to an XHTMLConversion firm. Professional XHTML programmers make it their business to know all of the coding formulae – for the best results – no matter which browser.
