Cross-platform/browser web coding

[FOBSIDE]

Which browsers read code differently and should be taken into account when designing a web page? I have a list of some browsers. Please let me know if any of them can be grouped together because they read code almost the same as another browser, especially for the same browser, cross platform.

WINDOWS:
Internet Explorer 5+ I believe they all read similarly enough after 5.
Netscape 4.x
Netscape 6.x
Opera
Mozilla

MAC:
Internet Explorer 5
Netscape (I'm thinking of not even bothering with this one because not too many people I know use it.)
OmniWeb
Opera
Mozilla

LINUX:
From my experience, most of the browsers I've ever used under Linux read code similarly so Galeon and Mozilla would render code similarly.

Are there any browsers I'm missing? Thanks for any advice and suggestions.

There are differences between IE 5, IE 5.5 and IE 6, it depends on what you're doing. I don't know specifics myself but several departments where I work have web applications that break differently in each version of IE.

Galeon uses the Mozilla rendering engine.

my biggest concern is tables and style sheets. style sheets will be text for the most part. i know a lot of the older browsers arent able to read all the new style sheets. the differences in the IE versions wont be a problem. do the mozilla versions render the same under different platforms?

I've noticed some wierdness in displaying some pages with Konqueror on Linux. It's a reasonably popular browser.
