"A Reset CSS file removes and neutralizes the inconsistent default styling of HTML elements, creating a level playing field across A-grade browsers and providing a sound foundation upon which you can explicitly declare your intentions." - Yahoo
At this point we have already used a very simple approach to resetting default browser styles. If you will look at your screen.css file you will see a rule that looks like so...
* {margin:0;padding:0}
This is a wildcard character that applies to all block level elements in an HTML document.
At times is is desirable to take it on step further and use an additional st lye sheet that "resets" the default browser styles. There are several options available.
I use the following Reset Style sheet from Eric Meyer.
To use see Attaching the Style Sheet to your Homepage in the following module.
If you choose to use a Reset Style sheet remember to remove the wildcard rule (*) from you screen.css file.
