== History ==
This term was originated by the [http://www.w3.org/Promotion/WIP/ Web Interoperability Pledge] that is a promise to adhere to current [[HTML]] Recommendations as promulgated by the [[World Wide Web Consortium]] (W3C). 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 by cross browsing in [[Browser wars|browser war]] between [[Internet Explorer]] and [[Netscape]]. Windows Internet Explorer was the dominant browser after that, but modern web browsers such as [[Mozilla Firefox]], [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]] and [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]] have supported web standards. Because of [[backward compatibility]] of Internet Explorer, many web pages has supported non-standard HTML tags and DOM handling script yet as well platform-dependent techniques such as [[ActiveX]]. These are very harmful for [[Web accessibility]] and [[Device Independence]].
