Resetting the style on elements with inherited style

Question

I have one <div> and I don't wish to inherit any formatting from any other stylesheets - I want to start fresh with this <div>. How can I do it?

Answer 1

i don't know any solution except explicit resetting of all styles for this div.

Answer 2

you cannot reset inheritance of css styles. To start from fresh you must design your style sheet to prevent undesirable inheritance, this is the only way except overriding styles.

Answer 3

Use something like firebug or IE developer toolbar to get a list of all styles applied to the div, and manually reset them all, unfortunatly.
