on the contrary, javascript is the most problematic when it comes to
cross-browser compatibility.
(especially in the netscape4 days it was really bad)

as fas as a consistent view is concerend, forget that outright. the
whole browser concept is not designed for a consistent view.
read up on the html spec and what it says about how browsers are
supposed to implement that. in many places you will find that browsers
may implement things in different ways. things need to work
consistently, but need not look consistently.
