My page looks fine in Internet Explorer but <insert name of browser> can't even display it correctly! This stupid <insert name of browser> with its rubbish and annoying <JavaScript | HTML | CSS> support! ***optional: Curse You!***
Or is it just because Internet Explorer's not doing it correctly? This annoying browser has failed to keep up with much standards support. Internet Explorer is still the lowest in HTML5 and CSS3, even with Internet Explorer 10, which was supposed to be a revamped version of Internet Explorer 9.
A transaction through the Santa Clara Garbage ***insert thing*** only worked in Internet Explorer. "HA! IE RULES PPL!" Or is it because of ActiveX/different DOM/different BOM/something else?
Then they usually accommodate Firefox or Chrome. Just tweak it... gah! Now it doesn't work in IE! Wait, I've got it! My box model is incorrect! There!
Adjust to Firefox. There!
But my standard? At least make it work in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, and Maxthon, the 6 most popular browsers.
Also you may want to add in responsive web design for browsers like the iOS Safari, Android browser, BlackBerry browser, Tizen, Opera Mini, and Internet Explorer Mobile. You would like to mostly accommodate for:
the Android browser, iOS Safari, Opera Mini, BlackBerry browser, Internet Explorer Mobile
As long as it works in the Android, iOS, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone interfaces, then it should work.
"But... I can't set up my own test lab."
Simple! If you have an AT&T store or Verizon or Sprint or T-Mobile you should be able to get a view of the phones. Just head on over, and even then, learn how to use the operating systems to turn from a web developer into a web developer and a phone guru.

NOTE: PLEASE READ. Most carrier stores will NOT have Opera Mini, but you can grab it for yourself in the App Store (Opera Mobile for the Google Play Store).
