Re: [WSG] Zeroing default padding/margin

[Nick Lo]

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for posting the article in the first place, I should've known 
the writer would've been on this list!

Anyway, I like the idea and I have a suspicion it'll work pretty well 
for my needs. I just tried it in a site I'm working on and it actually 
didn't break much and in fact I can immediately think of several places 
I can go to clear margin:0;padding:0; settings, so in that respect it 
may actually reduce verbosity.

I can also think of a particular debugging issue (IE of course) that it 
would have helped with.

Anyway, as Russ said "Like anything, I guess it comes down the the 
needs of the site and the developer". I'm just keen to see how it goes 
for my needs now!

RE: Verbosity; probably, but not necessarily. I've most recently used
this technique with a 5 page brochure-ware site to accompany my band's
upcoming ep and I honestly don't think it added a noticable amount of
weight. The benefits were immedietly noticable -- this site's design
(url not avail. yet) took a 3 lazy hours to code and wasn't checked
once in IE during the coding. Guess what? IE6 was identical in every
way to Moz/FF+Op the very first time!
