When I have a table on a page how can I fix it to one position on the page so it will apear on the same position on the page independent of which browser (Safari, Firefox, Opera, Chrome etc) I use ???

If you mean a Table as in a Table based layout item then you probably can’t as its position will be influenced by other items on the page.
If you mean a Table as in a table of data built as a layered CSS item then you can use the attribute Fixed in Window but this may not guarantee same positioning across a range of Browsers and OS.
To be clear, ‘Fixed in Window’ makes a layered html item a non-scrolling
item and I’m not sure that is what is being asked of here.
Having your layout to be consistent pixel-perfect “across all browsers” is
a very difficult task. Some might think it impossible (me). The best you
can do is try to minimize the differences - which are usually font-size and
tight-layout spacing issues. Designing a web page is not at all like
designing a print project where we expect all the pixels to behave.Web
design is about styling content with just enough fluidity to survive the
beating those browsers are going to give it. That’s my two-cents anyways.

Averaging and tight spacing was what I always do to get a reasonable result in most browsers. Isn’t it strange that only tables (as layer) shift always all over the place and all other item type never (that is what I like about Freeway).
