To stop the nasty jump when you open up a page that is beyond the window limit…

Why reset? Set instead. Simply put, replace your reset style sheet with one that SETs all the basic styles to the defaults you would like to start from instead. You still get a good baseline across browsers by setting all your styles to a standard format. I just don’t see the point of doing something to force me to specifically undo it later. I would much rather start with a style sheet that has a reasonable starting point that overrides the differences between browsers while at the same time making elements appear as I would expect them to everywhere.

So how about we see the death of the reset style sheet and the birth of frameworks with set style sheets. I think I will work on creating my own set.css in the near future.

Now-a-days, I use a reset which takes off most of the bugs (especially in IE), along with an IE6-specific stylesheet.

Personally I would not use the * {margin:0; padding:0;} solution. Considering that the majority of page elements don’t have margins or padding to begin with, it seems like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Besides, you’ll wind up adding back most margins and padding anyway, no?

My fave is Eric Meyer’s “Reset Reloaded” that you link to. As he notes in his article though, these are not intended to be used “as is.” He writes: “Think of these as a starting point for creating your own defaults.”

Sorry for the inconvenience.

For me, the jury is still out on reset stylesheets, but I am still pretty much a CSS newbie and I am sure I will chop and change on a per project basis
