Buongiorno from 6 degrees C about to rain Wetherby UK,
Ive just began to play with CSS style resets and have loved the results of using this CSS reset http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/. But my question is please…
“Is this still ok to use or are there more improved editions out there?”
Thanks in advance,
David
It’s better than his old one, but a bit of overkill unless you use all those elements.
There’s normalise.css (or maybe it’s normalize with the z) which is also silly-verbose but much cleaner than Meyer’s. First thing I checked in it was, did it still work with keyboard? Answer: yes. Outline and :focus were in.
Honestly, I recommend you just write your CSS, and when you find there are a bunch of elements you are repeating yourself on, then lump those together near the top.
Like if you saw you’re always readjusting the vertical-align on images because you’re leaving them inline a lot (not floating them or display:blocking them) and you always get that annoying gap at the bottom, and never want a border either. Then go ahead and have near the top of your page something like
img {
border: 0;
vertical-align: bottom; /or whatever isn’t baseline/
}
etc
