The default (browser) styles have been designed so text content is rendered well - it's better to tweak those than try and rebuild them from scratch. I find it easier to work with, and more robust. <BR/><BR/>For lists, for example, it's much easier to remove the bullets/margin/padding in situations where you don't want them (eg. navigation) than put them back in again for body text areas (where styling may well not be necessary, or may be minimal).<BR/><BR/>That's just how I feel about it, anyway. I've never worked in a situation where a global reset made my life better, but I have worked in a situation where a global reset made my life worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421903615286376978.post-71787916796124853422008-01-18T17:19:00.000+00:002008-01-18T17:19:00.000+00:00Some very sensible points there.

In addition, i find that in projects which are liable to change in design and or scope, it is essential that you give most HTML templates body classes and or id's to provide extra flexibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
