Thread: What, as of today, would be the best way to handle browser differences?

When starting to work on a website from scratch? For now, I use one of the CSS resets:

developer.yahoo.com/yui/reset
meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset (Eric Meyer)

Would you still worry about all that Internet Explorer issues (only about 3.1% of people use it as of 01.2012)? I know it depends on who is watching the website too (if there is a lot of visitors every day with IE it probably makes sense to make everything work right etc.)

w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp
w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

What are the other things that you do in order to avoid the headache in the future?

Thank you.

use standard HTML tags, don't jump to HTML 5 yet unless your doing a HTML 5 app and your target will be mobile users.
