I've found http://www.quirksmode.org to be be a wonderful guide to 
writing cross-browser-compatible Javascript in good style.
Particularly the concept of "object detection" 
(http://www.quirksmode.org/js/support.html), and of course, 
http://www.quirksmode.org/browsers/contents.html

"Object detection" isn't all that easy to write manually, but the 
technique is great for generated code.
