superpreview is a nice product from MSFT. It shows your page
rendering in different versions of IE.

 +1 for jQuery. There have been a few odd js things that have come back
to bite me but sticking with jQuery has been pretty awesome.  Since I
use Firefox in all of my development work, I occasionally get a customer
calling with some weirdness that ends up being something in IE that I
need to code around, but that is getting rare.

The CSS stuff is really annoying, more so than javascript, but if it is
ugly in IE I just blame that on Microsoft.  As long as it functions, I
can live with ugly.

We use jquery because, apart from being hugely powerful, it handles 99% of the browser differences for you. To be honest, IE is the only fly in the ointment. The others all behave pretty consistently. No dumbing down required - in fact, just the opposite.

In dealing with customer web pages (order entry) how are others handling browser differences?
Do you dumb the features down to a level most browser accept or code sections for different browsers? This is search&  data entry&  not so much point&  click,&  project on a skinny budget.

Depending upon whose stats (this is w3schools),
Internet Exp8 16.2%  IE7   7.8%    IE6  6.7% Total 30.7
Firefox 4.0    0.6%  3.6  35.2%    3.5  6.1% Total 45.8
Chrome 6.0     1.4%  5.0  15.1%    4.0  0.3% Total 17.0
Safari S5      2.6%  ...                            3.5

We want to set a minimum standard for browsers.
All of this will be in rpgle cgi.
