Given an HTML page is it guaranteed that two browsers will process the
pages the same way?
I'd like to know if IE gives precedence to certain types of objects or
just downloads objects as it parses the HTML code.
Thanks

Yes - as long as the two browsers are the same type and version.

As far as I know, all browsers simply fetch in the order in which the files
are parsed from the page's code from <html> to </html>.

The order in which those fetched files *arrive* at the client will, however,
depend on everything from the color of your socks to the phase of the moon,
including network congestion.
