Browser

Cross-browser. Cross-browser refers to the ability of a website, web application, HTML construct or client-side script to function in environments that provide its required features and to bow out or degrade gracefully when features are absent or lacking. Cross-browser vs. multi-browser[edit] With regard to scripts, which is the most common usage, the term cross-browser is often confused with multi-browser (see jQuery). Multi-browser scripts can only be expected to work in environments where they have been demonstrated to work (due to assumptions based on observing a subset of browsers). Most publicly available libraries and frameworks are multi-browser scripts and list the environments (typically popular browsers in use at the time and in their default configurations) where they can be expected to work. Scripts are categorized as cross-browser or multi-browser based on their logic.
