Is a good idea to use a reset stylesheet in a started project?

Question

I'm working in a long started web project that not use a reset stylesheet.

It will be a good idea to include a reset stylesheet given all the things already done?

Answer 1

Meh.

*{margin:0;padding:0}

has always worked just fine for me. But it depends on the nature of the website... if you want a pixel-perfect design, then maybe a reset would be helpful, if you have a more fluid layout... I wouldn't sweat it. I prefer to only reset the elements I'm actually using or need to appear a certain way, and let everything else be "native".

Answer 2

It would be a good idea only if you are ready to check every pages on your web :)

Answer 3

If the project already works fine, and renders properly in all major browsers, don't worry about a reset sheet. For future case, use reset sheets to quickly set aside browser-differences, and allow yourself to focus on more important things.

Contrary to what others here have mentioned, don't ever use * {margin:0;padding:0}. Instead, I would suggest using Eric Meyers' Reset Stylesheet. It's well-respected by the community of professionals, and has even found itself included in some of the most used css-frameworks.

Answer 4

Yes i always reset it using The CSS Reset File
