CSS Resetting — a Must
Building sites is, for the time being, a big pain because of our dear friend Internet Explorer. Too bad that so many people still use this terrible, incompatible, underdeveloped piece of software… For us web designers out there, how do we save time building sites that will inevitably be accessed by IE?
I just read a post on some CSS tactics that zero out functions, making IE that much closer to Safari and Firefox. The defaults are inconsistent across browsers, so by using CSS to bring all elements to ground zero will shave off time trying to get designs compatible across them.
Eric at Meyerweb.com has put together a nice package of CSS trickery that will reset the styles for all browsers. I encourage you to check that out as well as his explanation on why, as designers, we’ve got to start resetting our CSS at the outset.
