This line in YUI's Reset CSS is causing trouble for me: address,caption,cite,code,dfn,em,strong,th,var { font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; } It makes my em not italic and my strong not bold. Which is okay. I know how to override that in my own stylesheet. strong, b { font-weight: bold; } em, i { font-style: italic...
Hi, After applying a CSS reset, I want to get back to 'normal' behavior for html elements like: p, h1..h6, strong, ul and li. Now when I say normal I mean e.g. the p element adds spacing or a carriage return like result when used, or the size of the font and boldness for a h1 tag, along with the spacing. I realize it is totally up to ...

I am hoping to find a resource for lining up input elements in a HTML page. I find it difficult to get a select element and a text box to be the same width even when using the width style attribute, and it is even more difficult across browsers. Finally, file inputs seem impossible to get to the same width cross browser. Are there any go...

So the HTML will look something like this: <body> <img class="outterImg" src="sadkitty.gif" /> <div id="container" class="container"> <img class="innerImg" src="sadkitty.gif" /> <div class="subContainer"> <img class="innerImg" src="sadkitty.gif" /> </di...

Should the following be shunned, or praised for its simplicity? For the record, I use it in every site I build, but I've noticed it's not present in many main-stream CSS-Reset frameworks...is there a reason they don't use it too? * { margin:0; padding:0; } Edit: I was curious about performance, mostly. ...
I just found out about the Yahoo UI Reset CSS tool/file and I'm using it on my website. On my machine I have Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3.01 and my webpage looks the same on these two browsers.

Working on a rather small, and simple layout, I decided to use Meyer's CSS Reset rules to clear some of the expected discrepancies between browsers. All was working fairly well until I decided to add a few paragraphs into a couple nested divs. Once I placed the paragraph-tags within the second nested div, the background images of both t...
Hello, my question is if it is possible to reset css styles (a lot off them) for a single div and all elements that are contained in that div. I am asking, because I found this tutorial for a jquery shoutbox that has it's own css file. I can not just copy the styles over to my own css file, because it will screw up the rest off the pa...

When running in quirks mode, this works as expected however when I declare HTML 4.01 strict the background color disapears. If I remove the YUI reset.css, it seems to work as it should.

For the past few years, I've been developing sites with Eric Meyer's CSS resets. I love it and will never look back. I never even thought of looking back. But then today, we implemented a Telerik Rad Editor control. Unfortunately the CSS resets break the internal layout of the Rad Editor as well. Is there some way to prevent the resets f...
Whats the best way to reset and then rewrite the tableborder-color for the most common browsers, let's say FF, Opera, Safari and Chrome so that it will look the same as in IE. IE: Firefox, etc: it seems that a browser selector is neccessary, because different browsers interpret the same hexadecimal values differently. ...
I have a reset.css file that includes the following declaration: border:0 none; So when I make a table like this: <table border="1"> The border does not show up. How do I get the border to show up without removing the border:0 none; property? The code must be <table border="1">. Is there a way to make the table "ignore" the reset....
I found that I should be using Reset CSS file for making websites, but after I include it, all the <em> and <code> tags lose their style. <em> is not longer italic and <code> is no longer constant font. I fixed it by adding em { font-style: italic; }, but I can't possibly add this for all the tags that lost their style? Any ideas why? ...
