I was just reading the article excerpted below and was curious as to
how many on the list have used this technique of initially setting all
padding and margins to 0 and if so how successful was it?
------------------------------------------------
"A big part of dealing with cross-browser differences is accounting for
the default property values of elements in each browser; namely padding
and margin. I use the following declaration in every new site I design;
it has saved me many hours of nitpicking.
* {
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
It doesn’t seem like much at first, but wait till you look at your
mildly styled form in 11 browsers to find the positioning identical in
all of them; or your button-style lists are perfect the first time,
every time."
