When starting to work on a website from scratch? For now, I use one of the CSS resets: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/reset/ http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ (Eric Meyer) Would you still worry about all that Internet Explorer issues (only about 3.1% of people use it as of 01.2012)? I know it depends on who is watching the website too (if there is a lot of visitors every day with IE it probably makes sense to make everything work right etc.) http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp What are the other things that you do in order to avoid the headache in the future? Thank you.
Do NOT use w3schools for stats on browser usage. That's stats for people who visit THEIR site and not the general population. Use StatCounter instead though there are others. A css reset, in most cases, is not necessary if you are already setting a value for the elements you use. Otherwise a reset is just slowing down the browser. Never, EVER trust IE to do ANYTHING right. If it works in IE, but not a modern browser, your markup is wrong.
