Cross+Browser


 * Cross Browser**, or Cross Browser Compatibility, is a term applied to a website or web application's ability to support multiple web browsers. This is often an issue in creating or dealing with web software, because of the multiple web browser products available, each of which are backed and developed by different programmers and companies. As well, the browsers are supported on different operating systems, and when improved or upgraded, may not necessarily by applied to other browsers. This becomes a challenge for web developers, who must have to find a way to allow users to access these changes, but at the same time also allowing unsupported users the same privilege. Web developers will often compromise with the problem by first establishing key browsers with the client, at least ensuring that a large majority of the audience are still able to access and view said sites and applications.
