"In working to develop Web sites that are viewable in most
browsers, it sometimes seems as if a war is going on and Web site
developers are standing on the sidelines. As the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) tries to set and maintain standards by which we
can all live and interact on the Web, browser manufacturers seem to
come up short in the creation of browsers that can handle those
standards. And the developers, as creators of the Web sites the
browsers will eventually interact with, are caught in the
middle.
"I don't believe the browser manufacturers are deliberately
trying to cause problems for the Web developers. In some cases,
they have a product to sell and that takes precedence; in other
cases, they are trying to do all they can to abide by the
standards. Whatever the case, it tends to make life a bit difficult
for those of us who have to design the Web sites to interact with
those browsers..."
