Hi,

As a developer I am asking this question because my page is not displaying properly in IE6 and in Navigator. So, what steps do I have to take for the UI webpage so that it has good and perfect output for all the Browsers?
Sometimes css will not work in all browsers and sometimes controls position, sometimes javascripts. So, I need a docuement which I can follow to avoid this problem.

Thanks

Follow W3C standards and most of the cross browser UI designing issues should get resolved. Look here: W3C Standards for Web Designing[^]

Now, all the browsers follow these W3C standards. Designing a website based on the same should give a consistent UI on all browsers.

The phrase "Now, all the browsers follow these W3C standards".
is simply not true.
"All the browers delopyed AFTER the last release of those standards should follow them" is correct, but useless.

The OP spoke about IE6. Today IE5,6 & 7, as well as Netscape 2 & 3 as well as Firefox2 cannot be considered "W3C standard", since they have their own conceptualization of DOM and scripting (that's "similar" but not "identical"). Not to mention some bugs of IE6 and Mozilla (not the same bugs) about CSS and "Div relative vs absolute positioning".
And not to mention the different implementation of the standard colors.
And not to mention ...

If you want to be back compatible also with more than 3 y.o. browsers, be prepared to a lot of switches upon the browser type in the scripts, or just send plain static HTML
