That's the good news. The bad news is that last time I checked less than 10% of W3C members own websites past this validator test. In other words there is no sure fire way to guarantee what your site will look like in different browsers.

This should not be cause for undue panic. As part of your testing you will be able to select those browsers who represent your target audience. I think of this as being part of the selected web standard.

IE8 is going to have these W3C standards as in its default browsing settings, along with the ability to select other modes for backwards compatability. This however is of little comfort until it becomes the dominant browser.

You are able to do JS browser detection and act according to which browser is encountered. So be aware that in passing the W3C validator, it is possible that there will be new problems in the browser(s) you tested in.

Don't worry this problem has been around for nearly as long as the internet. It is a common dilemma for web designers.

If you cover IE6, IE7 & Firefox, are going to cover 85-90% of internet users (depending on whose figures you look at). In economics there is the law of diminishing marginal utility - in web design you will spend more time, effort and money disproportionately the more browsers you try and cover.

This where knowing your target audience is important. That's why they pay those marketing folk the big bucks. Here is one set of browser statistics:
Browser Statistics

Like I said earlier once you detect which browser, you can choose what do next, eg display a message or use a different template:
JavaScript Browser Detection

btw - div's and css in page formatting will generally get you closer to consistant formatting

If you pass the w3 stuff, you will be pretty close visualy to making your pages look the same.
You can check here: http://browsershots.org/ to see what your pages look like in a variety of different browsers.

I found that by validating and a little practice, my pages look virtually identical in both FF and IE
