Support standards, encourage upgrades
Learn about and use web standards while encouraging user upgrades to browsers that support those standards. The WaSP Browser Upgrade Campaign can help you craft your own strategy for moving your practice and your audience away from yesterday's broken sites. We've given you code and tips, and created a simple user education page you can copy or link to as you choose.
Report browser bugs
Help browser makers plug the holes in their standards compliance by identifying and reporting bugs. We can't overemphasize the importance of this simple, quiet activity.
Of course, it helps if the problems you've identified are actually browser bugs, not errors in your markup. First step: validate your page to make sure your markup is kosher. (For one-click validation, install bookmarklets from David Lindquist or Tantek Çelik.)
If your page validates and you're sure the browser is getting it wrong, report standards-related IE bugs to wasp microsoft.com, IE/Mac bugs via the Mac IE mailing list, IE6 beta bugs at this IE6 bug report page, Mozilla bugs at Bugzilla, Netscape 6 bugs via the Netscape 6 Feedback Center, and Opera bugs via the handy Opera bug tracking system.
