The only standards you need to follow are the W3C Web Standards [w3c.org] They even have a validator for your convience if you need to make sure that your code is valid. I did that at my summer internship and over the course of a summer was able to make our 1000+ page website 99% w3c complient. It might take you a few days to get in the rythym of doing things, but once we had our site up to html 4.01 standards, we never had a problem with any browser compatability issues, and we tested all the way back to Netscape
How does one go about getting OLD versions of browsers to check their sites with? Can you still find OLD Netscape 4? Old versions of IE? With IE, can you install mult. versions on the same machine?
With IE, can you install mult. versions on the same machine?
On a Mac, yes. On Windows, no. That, combined with IE's frequent security updates, means I never test my sites on anything but the most current version of IE available. The alternative, leaving IE unpatched, doesn't really appeal, even though I don't normally use it for day-to-day stuff.
Actually - you can have multiple IEs on the same machine (as in box) if you run several virtual PCs on it. We have a box dedicated to exactly that for testing purposes.
Pascal is not a high-level language.

All the old browsers you'll ever need can be found at http://browsers.evolt.org/ [evolt.org].
