Usage_share_of_web_browsers).
One of these four browsers is IE6 which, despite its rendering bugs
and poor support for many newer CSS properties, is currently still
a dominant browser, although slowly (too slowly) falling out of use.
The other three browsers are all what are commonly known as SCBs,
which stands for Standards Compliant Browsers. This means they
closely comply with the browser standards recommended by the
World Wide Web Consortium. They all quite accurately render virtually
all of CSS2 and many CSS3 properties. (CSS2 and CSS3 can be
thought of as versions of CSS and you will learn more about them as
we proceed.) Generally, there is little difference between them in the
way that they render valid CSS-styled XHTML.
You could include Netscape in the above list, even though at best its
market share is in single digits, but because Netscape and Firefox
are both built on the Mozilla rendering engine, if your page works
in Firefox, you??™re almost sure to see the same result on Netscape. So
really, testing and tweaking to the point where you get a satisfactory
result on just the four browsers listed above enables you to be
con?¬? dent that virtually everyone will see your site as you intended.
I don??™t even bother testing in IE5.5 any more; it has less than half a
percent usage now, and anyone who is running an eight-year-old
browser probably has bigger technical problems than how your
site renders.
