CSS Resets

Oh, and another thing...

I was looking at some existing websites out there and found that some of them use a bit of CSS code to normalize cross browser rendering behaviors. It seems like a good idea to me. You explicitly declare everything to be zero at the beginning so all your defaults are the same between IE and Firefox.

I don't know much about it, but it's working so far! (See my earlier post about my page finally looking the same in both browsers.)

At this link you can find further information. Below is the current recommended CSS Reset.



/* NORMALIZE Cross browser rendering inconsistencies

----------------------------------------------- v1.0 | 20080212 */

html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var,
b, u, i, center,
dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
fieldset, form, label, legend,
table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
outline: 0;
font-size: 100%;
vertical-align: baseline;
background: transparent;
}
body {
line-height: 1;
}
ol, ul {
list-style: none;
}
blockquote, q {
quotes: none;
}
blockquote:before, blockquote:after,
q:before, q:after {
content: '';
content: none;
}

/* remember to define focus styles! */
:focus {
outline: 0;
}

/* remember to highlight inserts somehow! */
ins {
text-decoration: none;
}
del {
text-decoration: line-through;
}

/* tables still need 'cellspacing="0"' in the markup */
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 0;
}

/* End Normalization */

The Really Big Red Button That Doesn't Do Anything

Does anybody remember that website called The Really Big Red Button That Doesn't Do Anything?




I used to think it was an amazing zen-like place. Now the magic is gone. :(
