common html tag and javascript used by diff browsers?

[sirpelidor]

Hi there,

being a novice web developer, I kept found myself writing html / javascript that works on 1 browser and sometimes it may not work on another (especially when it comes to DHTML).

would anyone please point me to a reference, so I can see a collection of: what browser supported what type of tag/ javascript?

I think the biggest player out there are: mozilla, IE, Opera
It would be nice if I know what are the tags /javascripts won't work and what will.

Thank you

Limit yourself to HTML that works on all browsers and you wont have these problems. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/ .

For JavaScript that will work a little more cross browser see http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm & http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-DOM-Level-1-19981001/ .
