|  Browser clashes Now there's more choice of browsers, ie, firefox, etc does this cause webmasters more difficulty when site building?

Most often, the culprit is Internet Explorer's noncompliance with web standards. For my web site, I've had to code two different stylesheets: one for Internet Explorer, and one for decent browsers. And, of course, the results in Internet Explorer often don't look as nice.

| IE is a pain when you want to build a site following Web Standards.... I generally build for FF, then check it out in IE afterwards and see just how bad the mess is before changing anything.

| I've been lucky and haven't had any problems in the change over from IE to Firefox. I don't deal with the graphics side of my forum but as far as I know they test it with IE, Firefox and Opera.
