Here’s a very good article containing tips for achieving cross browser compatibility: Click here
For those of you who don’t want to read the whole article, here’s a summary:
- Always use strict doctype and standards-compliant HTML/CSS
- Always use a reset at the start of your css
- Use -moz-opacity:0.99 on text elements to clean up rendering in Firefox, and text-shadow: #000 0 0 0 in Safari
- Never resize images in the CSS or HTML
- Check font rendering in every browser. Don’t use Lucida
- Size text as a % in the body, and as em’s throughout
- All layout divs that are floated should include display:inline and overflow:hidden
- Containers should have overflow:auto and trigger hasLayout via a width or height
- Don’t use any fancy CSS3 selectors
- Don’t use transparent PNG’s unless you have loaded the alpha
