First of all: A web site that looks the _same_ in every browser is
possibly not achievable and is also not really a clever web site. The
idea is that you improve the experience with the ability of the
browser and allow the users to change their browser settings without
making your site unusable.
A lot of browser issues can be solved with the whitespace reset:
* {margin:0;padding:0;}
