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

== History ==

The term was originated by 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 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 have 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]].
