I dont think there is such an editor, the editor on;ly allows you to read/write/edit, it's the writer who needs to write browser independant code not the editor tool.

There will always be slight browser issues because there are so many different browsers out there. However, there are some editors that will have minor difficulty. And depending on how simple your code is, there might be none.

Well, the true problem is the overabundance of web browsers that do not conform to the same base. Like I said, if you pay the money, you can get apps that will do that. But the $$$ is the issue.

The only true cross-browser issues that you will run into should be scripting languages and not HTML/CSS. If you are only working with HTML and CSS, then just about any quality application will work...even the free version I mentioned in my last post.

If you pay attention not to use too many CSS2 features.
If CSS2 features are used, they should be tested in IE which is not good at following CSS.

Guideline: Avoid WYSYWIG editors. All of them produce awful non-semantic code or are counter productive.
