Widgets using different browsers

In this example we show the differences in appearance of the widget set supported by HTML when viewed by different browsers. It is obvious from this that without substantial vendor and platform customization it is not possible to get much control over the appearance of the rendered document. Note in particular that even within the products of a single browser supplier (Netscape) the widgets are vertically justified differently between the X and Macintosh platforms.
