KDP Browser Compatibility
At one point in the Internet's past, a web designer had to design web pages for a whole plethora of web browsers. Then Microsoft came along, stomped out all of the competition, and one could feel pretty confident that designing a website that looked good in IE would take care of the great majority of visitors. That was the state when I first started working on the KDP website. Now, however, the pendulum has swung back, and us poor web designers have found ourselves back in the position of having to appease multiple browsers. To that end, I've been spending some time trying to identify and fix any problems with the website. On this page I will document my progress and the current state of those changes.

I only have access to Windows machines, and I'm not too interested in testing every single browser for every different OS out there. That said, I'd appreciate it if you let me know if you're using a different OS and/or browser and you encounter any problems. Here are some sections that I've had to tweak for cross-browser purposes, and their current status.
