Generally speaking, standards-compliant HTML will render best in the most recent browsers. When you attempt "tricky" stuff, you'll often get burned by cross-browser incompatibilities. This is a good reason to use frameworks that have been tested across platforms: HTML5Boilerplate provides a standard html grid and css that work on mobile and desktop browsers and jQuery that tests for, and compensates for, a variery of JavaScript engine differences, for example. You can quickly test a single page across a variety of browsers at http://browsershots.org/ If you're looking for more extensive testing and spidering, I've had a lot of luck with http://mogotest.com -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com
