AKA: Why your image carousel pulling content from posts or pages in Wordpress is not working

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. As you may well be aware, the industry commonly talks about cross-browser support, so we’ll differentiate between support and consistency, as well as defining what cross-browser really means, and some other tidbits as to boot.
