Sometimes resetting the styles is necessary for a better cross- browser experience. > Keep the CSS lean, mean, and on-target. How is an extremely small CSS file resetting default styles going to add much bloat to the overall styling of the page? > It will be far easier to maintain and revise. > And it will be more future proof. How will it be more future proof if the next version of IE, Firefox, or Safari has different default styling? Do I then need to go through all my style sheets and update them because the vendors decided to use padding instead of margin to offset list elements? Why not just do away with all vendor-based styling to begin with? That is much more future proof in my opinion. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
