A backend PHP framework causing browser incompatibility issues. Eh?

Edit: To reply to the naysayers in one fell-swoop - unless CakePHP is identifying the browser from the request header and sending different templates/CSS accordingly (which sounds unlikely, and like a bad idea to me), there's no way for the framework to introduce cross-browser compatibility issues.

Obviously the developer could create issues in the CSS or templates directly, but that's nothing to do with the framework... which is what I was getting at.

I know!? I was wondering the same thing. Language is a little strange.
Why not? Server-side rendering of views?
Why not? It generates HTML which may have all the browser incompatibility issues a programmer can fit into a PHP file (replace with your favourite web language).
CakePHP has a few features for use on the client-side.
My thoughts exactly.
