Cross-browser Support

Cross-browser Support


Cross-browser refers to the ability for a website, web application, HTML construct or client-side script to support multiple web browsers.

The term was widely used during the browser wars in late-1990s. In that context, the term referred to websites and code snippets that worked in both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. During the browser wars, new features were added to browsers without any co-ordination between vendors. Thus it often happened that though both browsers supported some particular feature, there were differences in the way the feature worked, ranging from slight cosmetic issues to profound conceptual differences.
