'''Web interoperability''' meansis producing web pages viewable inwith standard compatible [[web browser]]s, various [[operating system]]s such as [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[Macintosh]] and [[Linux]], and devices such as [[Personalpersonal computer|PC]]s (PCs), [[Personal digital assistant|PDA]] and [[mobile phone]]s based on the latest [[web standards]].

== History ==

ThisThe term was originated by the Web Interoperability Pledge,<ref>[http://www.w3.org/Promotion/WIP/ Web Interoperability Pledge]</ref> thatwhich is a promise to adhere to current [[HTML]] Recommendationsrecommendations 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 hashave 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 [[Devicedevice Independenceindependence]].

== Elements of Web interoperability ==

* Structural and semantic markup with [[XHTML]].

* CSS -based layout with layout elements such as position and float.

* Separating among structure, presentation and behavior in web pages.

* DOM scripting based on W3C DOM Standard and [[ECMAScript]].

== Activities ==

It has been various activities, for example [[Web Standards Project]], Mozilla's Technology Evangelism<ref>[http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tech-evangelism/ Mozilla's Technology Evangelism]</ref> and Web Standards Group.<ref>[http://webstandardsgroup.org/ Web Standards Group].</ref> Also there are educational activities such as Web Essential Conference.<ref>[http://we05.com Web Essential Conference].</ref>
