i can think of a couple ways, neither of them pretty. css is meant to
cascade (hence the name!), so resetting an area of the page isn't
built in.
1. pick a browser you like and grab their css rules for the elements
that the browser styles with absolutely no code from you. go through
that file and basically do a smart copy/paste into your css for this
area.
2. have absolutely no css that you code yourself applies to this no
css part. by this i mean that every other thing you want to style on
the page that could possibly overlap with the nocss part needs to be
explicitly named so that you can access it by class (or id) name in
your css file. this might give you a lot of extra classes, but it
will keep that nocss part clear of any styling you have personally
done.
i think the second one there is better because all browsers style
elements differently, and that option allows the browsers to continue
doing so.
hth.
