You can _never_ expect it to look a certain way. You can only hope.

You're misusing tables. A good metric of when you're doing something you
shouldn't is if you set "border=0" and don't use "<th>". A wise web page
writer should look into the "<div>" and "<span>" tags.
HTML is for giving content in a structured manner; it's up to the browser
to represent it as it thinks it should. CSS is a method of giving the
browser engine additional hints for how to show it.
I recently remade the web site for the FreeRADIUS project. Take a look
at the source. It's not prefect, but it is correct and it's guaranteed to
look as it _should_ in every browser.
