css consistency

[EscapeCharacter]

is there a technique or some css option i can set to have the style look the same across browsers? i just started messing with them since i learned they could replace my nasty dirty nested and noticed in mozilla it would look fine but in IE it would look like crap, so whats a guy to do?

edit:
i know i could probably use java script to check browsers and have the css taylored to each but id rather not do that.

You've already listed your only viable option.

Just like HTML, CSS is just a "recomendation" from the W3C. Some browsers interpret and render CSS differently than others, just like they do with HTML.

From my own experiences Opera has one of the best CSS implementations, but of course you can't force everyone in the world to use it.

Basically you are shafted unless you do the thing you dread: using javascript and having more than one style sheet.

Or you could always just put "Best viewed with Mozilla/Opera" on your website and consider it a done deal.</sarcasm>
