How do professional web designers create cross-browser CSS? Is it generally done by hand, or are there toolkits that can streamline the process, like YUI does for JavaScript? I'd prefer to stay away from WYSIWYG editors like DreamWeaver. Thanks!
Cross-browser development is making a web page look and behave the same on different desktop and mobile browsers. Five years ago, this was a real challenge for front-end developers. Thankfully, it's has gotten much easier now with the support for modern CSS tools like Grid and Flexbox.
Cross-browser refers to the ability of a website, HTML construct, application or even client-side script to work in several different environments, ones that provide its required features.
It's generally done by hand.
It typically starts by applying a CSS reset to even the playing field.
And you should aim at standards compliant CSS and then only as a last resort apply hacks for IE (yes I just called it out).
