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).
