Can you solve browser compatibility issues? We take a look
If only all the users of the World Wide Web would pick one search engine and one internet browser and stick with it. It would definitely make the web designers happy. Instead, there is browser choice; Mozilla, Firefox, Explorer, Opera and the list goes on. And at the time of writing, Microsoft’s new web browser, to be called Microsoft Edge, is causing excitement. But this deluge of software, search engines and browsers causes designers a browser compatibility headache.
We are of course being a little silly, but browser incompatibility can be a serious problem. It means your site won’t display clearly to all users who are browsing and could lead to them bouncing off your page to a competitor. Not a good thought. So here’s the lowdown to help you get to grips with this search engine headache.
Browser incompatibility issues occur when your website won’t view properly in certain internet browsers and from different search engines. Perhaps you built your bells ‘n’ whistles site to look amazing in Chrome, but if someone is browsing using Firefox or Explorer? Or is viewing from Mozilla, Opera or Safari? Uh oh, the formatting has gone dodgy and it’s impossible to view. So why do these pesky problems occur? To work that out we need to open the can of worms that is html.
