there's no such thing around. Every browser has its own rendering engine and albeit they "should" render everything as "expected", small differences exists. That's why the only way to manage it is in javascript, that can accomodate dinamically those differences because the environment where it runs is the browser itself. web2py has practically no knowledge beforehand on how a particular dom structure will be rendered (and/or the knowledge it has is so limited that calculating it would practically mean that you need to code every browser out there by yourself (and you can't compare yourself with Apple plus Microsoft plus Mozilla Foundation plus Google plus Opera engineers)).
