In theory, HTML, CSS and JavaScript are all platform independant. All have cross-platform browser issues but HTML has the least. Whether your editor outputs no lines, lines with CR, lines with LF or lines with CR+LF officially doesn't matter. :)
html is plain text, so it will be cross platform as long as your platforms support plain text files (and that's usually the case).
the cross-browser support is a completely different issue.

As stated above, the problem with web technologies is not the physical file itself (the text file) but the way the different browsers render it.
Given the format is plain text, you could even code from your cellphone if you have a way to upload to a computer (including direct access to store files in your server).

yes HTML is platform independent if you use Netescape Foundation Classes(NFC). the view of Microsoft Foundation Classes is different at different browser.
So if you write one HTML code then it might be possible that same will not work at other browser. One very common example is with layerin HTML
