tags incompatibility with IE vs Mozilla

hi all,
i am having a problem with tags compatibility between the two
explorers. i am new to html programming so please bear with me.
below are some of the tags that works in mozilla but not in IE
- onClick command in combo box
- onClick command on radio button
- href on buttons
can somebody teach me a workaround for this? is there a list of
the appropraite command for a specific browser?
thanks!

onclick should be all lower case.
i.e.

.... onclick="function()" ...

Same with onmouseover, onmouseout and any other attributes

- href on buttons

href on buttons? I thought you should always use buttons for
buttony-purposes, like submitting a form. In which case define
action="URL" in the form tag.

I'm not sure if you should be able to do href in buttons, where is our
Iron-man of compliance Mr. Korpela?

www.w3c.org That's all you need to know, bud.

Does that mean that if I write a page for IE5/6 it won't display properly on
other browsers?

Please don't top-post, thanks.

If you write it specifically FOR IE 5/6, then yes. It will display poorly.

What I mean by writing specifically for IE 5/6 is taking advantage of
errors, and any tags/properties that are propietry.

Things like the CSS text/image filters DO NOT work in other browsers.

If you write your code to specification, it will work in most/app browsers.

The easiest way to check this, is to include a doctype atop EVERY page,

Take a look at

to understand this more.
