They say HTML doesn't dictate how a browser will display a page precisely, because of the numerous platforms and ability for users to change their browser settings and overriding CSS stylesheets.
Does this mean that if two people who have the same browser with the same settings, the same monitor, the same fonts and one person gives his website to the other, they will have different, not exactly the same 100%, displaying pages?
I'm trying to grasp what they mean by 'you can't dictate how pages will look like'.
I understand that that's because of the varying user settings and overriding options,
but what if users just happen to have a common, default setup?
How does the system work?
