Environment - Browsers
Browsers are used to view websites. There are several browsers available and each one may render the HTML and CSS code differently therefore the web page is displayed differently. When coding a web page use correct HTML or XHTML and make sure you test your website on different browsers. Pay special attention to the appearance and any functionality to guarantee that your website works exactly the same and is displayed the same on all browsers.
This is a list of some of the most popular browsers. You will need to download the browser to your computer and then view your website with each browser.
