Now you know it's not good to tease Russ about HTML! He'll probably start using the tag now! Seriously though... layout was a whole lot easier when HTML 3.2 was the base! All those tables... The thing is, to code well for all browsers, you have to be able to create a LOT of code. And that is unfeasible for most sites, so I generally just code for 2, and that's IE and Firefox. However, I just don't go in for coding for EVERYTHING under the sun, because it's just not possible. The main reason is where do you draw the line? Should everyone upgrade it if breaks? That's not fair. Should you code for all browsers (every version)... well that's not really possible is it. Where do you start and stop? If it works in IE and firefox, the rest will pretty much tow the line to the majority of layout. Simplicity is the key, and actually using DIVs (no tables at all) and CSS is about the closest I've come to "simplicity" and "re-usability" for cross-browser performance. And since most clients use IE anyway, they almost never find out about the layout issues.
