'''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, [[mobile phone]]s and [[Tablet computer|tablet]]s based on the latest [[web standards]].
==History==
The term was originatedfirst byused 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 promulgatedpromoted 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 byas "cross browsing" in the [[Browser wars|browser war]] between [[Internet Explorer]] and [[Netscape]]. WindowsMicrosoft's 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 supportedbecome dominant, and support additional web standards beyond what Internet Explorer supports. Because of Internet Explorer's [[backward compatibility|backwards compatibility,]] of Internet Explorer, manysome web pages have supportedcontinued to use non-standard HTML tags and, DOM handling scriptscripts, yet as welland platform-dependentspecific techniquestechnologies such as [[ActiveX]]., which Thesecould arepotentially verybe harmful for [[Web accessibility]] and [[device independence]].
