You need to read the Webkit vs Gecko article I posted on SPS, WebKit is far from the be all and end all of rendering engines.

Explain?

The rendering engines used in browsers. Firefox uses Gecko, Safari and Chrome use Webkit, and Opera uses Presto

[divine]

Webkit is the rendering engine Safari and Chrome use
Gecko is the rendering engine Firefox uses
Presto is the rendering engine Opera uses
TotalCrap is the rendering engine IE uses

The rendering engine being the code that takes HTML/CSS/PHP etc. and turns into a pretty page for you to see

I think he means people like you, in the sense of 'What's the point in a standard when the people develop according to it end up with sites that are broken for 80% of users'

No point having a standard if people can't develop based on it.

*grumble*

don't grumble...


Please provide the standard and the code so I can integrate to my website.

Many thanks

Well, three of them, will render code written to proper (X)HTML and CSS standards 99% the same.

One of them will end up a broken mess.

Guess which one.

People that make Browsers more than the developers. The whole point of the standards being there are to make it easier for all parties concerned, from web developers to end users, through to the web browser programmers.

Instead you're having to kludge code around to force it to work properly on different browsers because they're all handling the standard differently, which takes a fair amount of time to do. I reckon every minute wasted 'fixing' code to run on other browsers ought to be charge back to the browser developers. That'd soon make them work to standards.
