Great stuff in there. This is required reading for anyone looking to brush up on their front end coding skills, or for anyone that is new to cross browser compatibility issues. The article is clear, practical, and concise.


Does anyone else think that if you're going to put up a page like that (as the hosting provider), you don't want to brand it?

Like, it's one thing to put up such a page and piss off a current customer. It's another thing to proudly display your logo telling all visitors not to host with you.


I'm sorry, I don't follow... was this comment meant for a different article?

And just when I thought I had read everything there was about cross browser compatibility.

This is definitely as saver. Thank you.


Yep, great content for sure and there's good remarks in the comments too. Most of the stuff I'd say I'm aware of but the Safari text opacity trick is new to me.

Side note: The site was down temporarily and redirected to the hosting provider who advertises "unmetered bandwidth" in their tag line, yet can't support a minor influx. :\


Yes, what makes this article extra helpful is that it consolidates the best of the various tricks out there into one simple document.


Anyone have any mirrors for this?

Looks like they've run out of bandwidth.



I clicked on the link several times and I finally reached it.


Working fine here.


No, no no. No.

Don't hack support for badly behaving browsers ;-(
