Re^4: Which HTML form builder

I'm an idiot, and I don't talk with other designers/tech people enough to have my terminology straight. I meant ID, but was only using 'em for the first reason, and I didn't know about the second.

As a total side note, but you got me thinking about it: I used to have a great chart that (in the html days) had every tag and the compatibility with various browsers. Nowadays I'm using http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html which is nice, but doesn't cover some of the lesser used browsers that create the PITA glitches. Where do you go for your compatibility info nowadays?

See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-browser NB: This article is, in my view, utterly wrong-headed in its assertion that cross-browser compatibility is less critical today than a decade ago (because newer browsers -- even IE -- are increasingly standards complaint).
http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ limited to currently common versions of IE

And, though it scarcely needs saying and these are not, strictly speaking, responsive to your question, consider:

screen rez
screen size, and...
the user's connectivity (something like 50% of the US population *STILL* has no highspeed access) because it bears on whether your page will render for a member of your target audience before the individual gives up and browses elsewhere.

BTW, these are a merely few samples from a quick Google for " browser + compatibiltity" but there are other and better ones out there still. However, my usual references are at home whereas I'm on the road and yet another meeting calls. So take these with a grain of salt.
