Travis, While I, too, generally use a (modified version of) Meyer's Reset.css file, I use it to reset the styles of elements within a content management system; most commonly for allowing a user to create (unknown) source that I have styled specifically for the site. The shell of such a system is generally (theoretically) composed of only a few elements (divs and h1/2s). I'm not sure what value you're gaining by applying it exclusively to the shell. To invert the application of the reset.css file, you'd have to alter the specificity of each selector in the reset.css file to include only the sections which are NOT div#mainContent. There is the CSS not() selector modifier, but I'm fairly certain it does not yet have full browser support. In your case, why not do away with Meyer's reset.css and only modify the few elements you have outside div#mainContent, essentially creating your own reset.css file? Hope it helps. --Bill -- /** * Bill Brown * TheHolierGrail.com & MacNimble.com * From dot concept...to dot com...since 1999. ***********************************************/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
