Default Websites within all browers


With all the talk about websites being seen correctly on
all types of browsers, ie, IE, Netscape, Opera, Mozilla and
so on, how do Frontpage web designers ensure their websites
are looking at their best and displaying correctly on
nearly all the browsers? I had heard it was impossible to
have a site displaying correctly for 100% of the browsers
out there.

I also just read an article that said most web designers
now use XHTML 4.0 to code their web pages. Is this true?
And what about us FPers?!!

You download and install all the browsers you think you want to test against, then you enable them within FP so that when you push the Preview In Browser booton you'll have a choice of Browsers and simulated resolutions.

Personally, I code to the HTML 3.2 requirements, no CSS Positioning, no DHTML, no FP themes, no
shared border, no FP navigation, just tables, images, basic HTML and ASP/VBscript and very little
JavaScript which allow me to cover version 3 and up browsers seeing the sites basically the same.
