What are the chronological steps in building a cross browser compatible site?
I am working on my first project that requires me to worry cross browser compatibility.  Since this is my first time doing so, I dont know how to go about the completing the project.  I am specifically worried about IE.  Should I complete my project in a more graceful browser then hack it to work in IE, or should I simultaneously build my program up in both environments?
