Professional designers will already do this but most general webmasters (like myself) often don’t. Everytime you do some work on your web design always check it is compatible in all browsers.
In the past I had done work and checked it using Internet Explorer and not even considered how it looked in Firefox, Opera etc. As soon as it looked fine in IE I presumed it would be fine in the others. However that wasn’t the case and for ages I had some web designs which were all skewif in Firefox, not good for visitors!
How To Check Cross Compatibility
Don’t worry you don’t have to download all browsers. Simply visit browsershots.org, type in your web address and check the options for browsers/systems you want to check.
Wait 30minutes or so and you will soon have a bunch of screenshots showing you what your website looks like in the different browsers. Then you can make corrections as required. Very easy and completely free!

thats true checking compatibility is very useful. Increasing number of web browser makes it difficult to check how the page will appear. So checking compatibilty is nice habbit and increase quality of any webpage.
