When we talk about topics such about CSS, JavaScript, and sometimes even certain image formats (png24, I’m looking at you), and how they render in a client’s browser, we always, or should always also consider cross-browser behavior. This behavior entails many things: CSS rendering, the availability of CSS specific attributes, whether or not the DOM interface will be the same, general JavaScript behavior — the list goes on and on. And, since most discussions about CSS and JavaScript (at least the ones that I am having) also concern this variable nature, I’m coining (maybe I’m the first) a new term to put all of this into a handy little phrase, “Cross-Browser Consistency,” or, in typical programmer fashion, simply, “XBC.”

Let’s take a brief moment to establish a more exact meaning for this phrase.

Since we, as a firm, and myself particularly, tend to gravitate toward web applications rather than web sites, we often find ourselves challenged to originate new interfaces and layouts that are not only conducive to simplicity and ease in usability, but also focused on achieving whatever, usually monetary, goals that the project may specify.  Because of this, I find myself asking the question of what entails not only an effective, but an intuitive layout.

As the bright ones among you may have inferred, this is a simply a sneak-peak into my next article.  We’ll be discussing layouts centered around two key points: effectiveness, and intuitiveness.

That’s it.  Stick around.
