Write ONE code-base for Mobile and Desktop?

I am interested in writing a single code-base for an application, that will work across iPhone, Android and Blackberry mobile devices as well as on desktop browsers like Firefox, IE and Chrome. Is this possible or I am just dreaming?

Also, another limitation I have, is that I want to use a .Net programming language for this app in combination with HTML5, jQuery and CSS3.

Technology changes very rapidly nowadays by every month, and I was wondering if this is possible now in Nov, 2012. I knew it was not possible in May, 2012.

Yes they will render Html Table's fine.. There is really little limitation if any when using html. The only restrictions are if the browser supports Html 4.x which most now support HTML 5 so you will be alright. Your CSS will be the main thing that determines how the items are rendered on different platforms nothing else.

Depending on what you want to do, you can always use C. A library function written in C can be accessed from within Objective C on the iPhone, via JNI on Android and via CGI or most server-side scripting languages on a webserver (Ruby, PHP).

I dont know of any library that would generate user interfaces for all these platforms and I dont think that would even make sense because user interaction will be so much different.

In case you want to create a game, have a look at the Unity Game Engine which runs on a number of different platforms.
