No it won't. Situations in which an error-free HTML page will not be viewable with all browsers include: * Insufficient contrast between text color and background color. * Assumptions that a browser window is larger than the visitor's window, that the monitor resolution is greater than the visitor's actual resolution, and that the monitor screen is larger than the visitor's monitor. * Rendering that is garbled when CSS is disabled. (Some browsers still in use -- especially audio browsers for the blind -- do not support CSS.) * Text that is too small on a browser without a zoom capability. * Content contained in an image instead of actual text, where the browser fails to display the image appropriately (e.g., stretched, fuzzy) because of valid but inappropriate size or other attributes (HTML) or properties (CSS). -- David E.
