Most of us are using CSS now to try and keep websites compatible between browsers, but sometimes the browsers still get the best of us. Over the past few months I’ve downloaded several versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and now Chrome all to find that somehow things look just a little bit different in each browser. Maybe I’m becoming too OCD over these little differences, but it really frustrates me espicially after spending so much time perfecting the code to make sure things look just right. So to help with your frustrations, I figured today I would share a few of my tricks that I use to help stabilize the differences between browsers.
Firefox is a wonderful browser due to its add ons. There are so many unique tools to check websites with that I’m not sure how I survived without it before! Here’s a few extra add ons that help in any situation, guaranteed!

In some cases its almost easier to start out with a pre-made CSS template and build from there, so here’s a couple of links for just that. Personally, I wouldn’t suggest using the template as a whole, but as a foundation for the site.

For any CSS that I program I also use the site http://www.w3schools.com. They have so many great tutorials and examples that it makes building off of their ideas a lot easier.
Also, just for web designers heres some code snippets that are really helpful:
