Making web pages work consistently in all browsers drives me nuts, but it is my responsibility to make them work for everyone. I'd better add "within reason" to that... I test as far as IE5, and even that causes more compromises than I'm really comfortable with.
The other thing to keep in mind, as a site designer, is how the search engines will "see" your site. Basically, the "crawlers" for the search engines will "see" the site very similarly to the way someone viewing it with a text-only, no javascript, no java, no flash, etc., browser like Lynx or Links will see it.
For example, our site (http://www.nutdriver.org) uses javascript to draw in the menu on the left dynamically. I hadn't thought too much about it, but that means that the crawlers don't actually see that menu because it's not actually there until the page is running in someone's browser.
