Test your Web Site’s Browser Compatibility

Interestingly when ever I made HTML pages, it never looked the same in Mozilla or Chrome as in IE. The questions in my mind where very obvious. If HTML was an Open Standard (ISO/IEC 15445:2000) then why does our web pages behave differently in each browser it is opened.
I did not get into finding the details but just checked out , if there was something available which informed me of the reactions of opening a page in every known web browser.
The search led me to come across browsershot.org.
