Or it might not. Or, another way, a page that validates is more likely to render somewhat consistently cross-platform than one that doesn't, on average. It's much more likely to continue to render in browser version upgrades on the same os/browser. But there's no guarantee it will render how you want, or at all, really, until you see that sucker actually displayed in that browser/OS with your own eyes. Or, in my case, with the Designer's eyes, as I'm unlikely to spot a few zillion buglets in display... I see what I want to see, and probably won't even notice that image dangling over the input box differently on all three browsers, or the one paragraph in Times instead of Verdana or... Designer folks tend to look at me funny when I make them point to exactly has their knickers in a twist, but there it is. I won't even notice it until they point to it. Oh well. Maybe I just got used to a heck of a lot of ugly sites too early on. Remember when the IMG tag was controversial? OMG!!! Like, 5K on a webpage? Are you crazy?
