==History==

The term was first used in the Web Interoperability Pledge,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.w3.org/Promotion/WIP/|title=WIP -- Web Interoperability Pledge|author=|date=|publisher= |accessdate=12 August 2016}}</ref> which is a promise to adhere to current [[HTML]] recommendations as promoted 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.

Because of Internet Explorer's [[backward compatibility|backwards compatibility]], some web pages have continued to use non-standard HTML tags, DOM handling scripts, and platform-specific technologies such as [[ActiveX]], which could potentially be harmful for [[Web accessibility]] and [[device independence]].
