How to maintain consistency across Web Browser

Hi all,

I have this question for every body.
I am not basically a Web designer, actually a developer. But sometimes I have to work with designing.

My question is How to maintain or bring consistency of web pages across all major web browser. Actually when I create some pages(with colors,tables and other HTML elements) what I exactly get is that every browser render it quite differently, some shows better and exact design and some never.

So how to overcome this. Please provide some resources or Tips or whatever, so that my pages should render in better design and appearence in every browser.

Thanks in advance

The main one is using valid xhtml and css, and getting IE out of quicks mode by putting the doctype on the first line.

If something doesnt work in IE6, use this:
Code:
* html #container { rule: variable; }

Thats about it really?

you shouldnt really be doing that anymore tbh. You should be using conditional comments instead

First, don't use "tables". This is 2006, not 1996.
