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.

First time clicking the button squishes everything over to the right. Subsequent clicks work, though. |
