'''Web interoperability''' is producing web pages viewable with nearly every device and [[web browser]]. There have been various projects to improve web interoperability, for example the [[Web Standards Project]], Mozilla's Technology Evangelism<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.mozilla.org/projects/tech-evangelism/ |title=Mobile/Evangelism - MozillaWiki |author= |date= |publisher= |accessdate=12 August 2016}}</ref> and Web Standards Group,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://webstandardsgroup.org/ |title=Web Standards Group (WSG) |date= |publisher= |accessdate=12 August 2016}}</ref> and the Web Essential Conference.
'''Web Interoperability''' means producing web pages viewable in standard compatible [[web browsers]], various [[operation systems]] such as [[Windows]], [[Macintosh]] and [[Linux]] and devices such as [[PC]], [[PDA]] and [[mobile phone]] based on the latest [[web standards]].
== History ==
ThisThe term was originatedfirst byused in the [Web Interoperability Pledge,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.w3.org/Promotion/WIP/|title=WIP -- Web Interoperability Pledge] that|accessdate=12 August 2016}}</ref> which is a promise to adhere to current [[HTML]] Recommendationsrecommendations as promulgatedpromoted by the [[World Wide Web Consortium]] (W3C).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Understanding Website Usability and Conversions |url=https://www.netpaths.net/understanding-website-usability-conversions/ |access-date=2024-03-25 |language=en-US}}</ref> The WIP was not a W3C initiative. but it was started by and has been run by [[ZDNet]] AnchorDesk. quite independently.
This issue was known byas "cross browsing" in the [[browser war]] between [[Internet Explorer]] and [[Netscape]]. The Microsoft's Internet Explorer was exclusivethe indominant browser market after that, but modern web browsers such as [[Mozilla Firefox]], [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]] and [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]] have supportedbecome dominant, and support additional web standards beyond what Internet Explorer supports.<ref>{{Cite Becauseweb |title=What are the Characteristics of [[Backwarda Compatibility]]Good Website? |url=https://hatchandvox.com/web-design/characteristics-of-good-website/ |access-date=2024-06-22 |language=en-GB}}</ref> Because of Internet Explorer's [[backward compatibility|backwards compatibility]], manysome web pages hashave continued to supporteduse non-standard HTML tags and, DOM handling scriptscripts, yet as welland platform-defendantspecific techniquestechnologies such as [[ActiveX]]., Thesewhich arecould potentially verybe harmful for [[Web Accessibilityaccessibility]] and [[Devicedevice Independenceindependence]].

* [[CSS ]]-based layout with layout elements suchthat asresize based positionon andscreen floatsize
* Separating among structure, presentation and behavior in web pages
* DOM scripting based on W3C DOM Standard and ECMAScript
