This is true. When constructing a website I think it's best to have a few popular browsers installed and keep checking the pages in them. I Generally found that if pages looked right in Opera they would look OK in Netscape and IE too. This also applies to a non-frames construction.
Also, it needs to be decided whether to construct the site with the tables written in pixels or percentages. If table widths are in pixels the width of the page stays fixed no matter what the screen resolution. If written in percentages, the page contents expand or contract to fit the various screen resolutions (like the pages in this site do).
Sites that have tables in pixels are often constructed for a screen resolution of 800 x 600. This means they have gaps at the sides of the tables on the screen on resolutions higher than that.
