Wrong. Although they should not, all browsers include display styling defaults which result in the appearance and/or placement of various page elements - including tables - being handled in a variety of ways. The differences are often small and acceptable, but these defaults are almost always the reason for the "my page looks great in such-and-such a browser, but in..."

Which is why, if you do use CSS, it is a good idea to begin your stylesheet with settings to "zero off" these differences.
