I will write Test cases Combatable for different browsers with differnt version . main thing to point out is..

1) Controls(Buttons,Drop down box, Pop-down menus, Popup menus).
For buttons some times the click action supports for one browser(IE7.0) and it will not work in Mozilla browser(3.0.6). i faced this in my real work projects. In some cases the Popup menus overlapped, hidden by other controls, which makes inact state, In Drop down box lengthy items supported by one browser and another didnot , which make break down in text)

2) GUI Check: Check the Graphical interface in the project supports for differrent browsers and components.

3)Interfaces: Ensure that all the links are working fine and should open correct pages.

4)Design issues- Desgin patterns are varied according to different CSS files, which afftects the design of the pages for different browsers.

The system is said to be compatible which not only support for different browsers, it shoul support for diferrent Operating System & other Hardware Components. My Testcases should covered by those 4points

We should execute all test cases in different browsers like IE 7.0,8.0, Firefox 3.0,3.1 and Safari 3.1,3.2. Also we have to excute all test cases in different operating systems like XP 2000, XP Vista and Macintosh.

If we have to perform compatibility testing then at least each test case should be executed in different environments.

Compatibility testing is performed on an application to evaluate how it performs in different computing environments. A computing environment contains any number of the following components:

1) Operating systems (Windows, Mac, UNIX, etc.)
2) Browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, etc.)
3) Compatibility of peripherals (printer, disc drive, etc.)
4) Database (SQL, Oracle, etc.)
5) Computing capacity of hardware platform (IBM 360, HP 9000, etc.)..
6) Bandwidth handling capacity of networking hardware
7) Other System Software (web server, networking/ messaging tool, etc.)

Web browser compatibility testing considers the following things:

1) Funtionality
Validate the application does what it is supposed to do across selected browsers

- mandatory and optional input
- paths that have hidden fields or text
- validation messages
- error messages

2) GUI
The following page elements should conform to specifications across selected browsers

- positions of frames, tables
- initial focus
- focus leaving and returning to pages
- tab order
- text appearance

- validation
- menus and lists
- internal links  
- external links
