The Yahoo User Interface (Google "YUI library") include style sheets for normalising styles over browsers. (So all margins/font sizes etc are consistent)
They also offer a wealth of cross-browser JavaScript functions for animation and AJAX calls, well worth checking out. (file size is a bit big though, not much you can do about that though, they pack so much good stuff into them) Samuel www.seasonstravel.com.au | www.geminidevelopment.com.au -----Original Message----- From: listdad@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of e-Bility Sandra Vassallo Sent: Tuesday, 1 August 2006 3:45 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Default browser stylesheet values Hi Paul, I usually start with Tantek's 'debug scaffolding' to create a consistent starting point by ruling out the various browser defaults - not sure if this is what you had in mind but I find it a great approach. http://tantek.com/log/2004/09.html#d06t2354 Erik has also written about it in his archives 'Really Undoing html.css' at: http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2004/09/15/emreallyem-undoing-htmlcss/ Cheers, Sandra russ - maxdesign wrote: > Here is the one recommended by the W3C > http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/sample.html > > One clumsy way I have used in the past to test individual browsers it to put > two identical html files beside each other - one without any css and the > other with css in the head.
