CSS Tools: Reset CSS. The goal of a reset stylesheet is to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on. The general reasoning behind this was discussed in a May 2007 post, if you're interested. Reset styles quite often appear in CSS frameworks, and the original "meyerweb reset" found its way into Blueprint, among others. The reset styles given here are intentionally very generic. There isn't any default color or background set for the body element, for example. I don't particularly recommend that you just use this in its unaltered state in your own projects. In other words, this is a starting point, not a self-contained black box of no-touchiness.

CSS3 . Info - All you ever needed to know about CSS3. CSS Tutorial. CSS tutorial. Table of contents Introduction CSS is a formatting language, used to provide more customised web pages and make it easier to make multiple pages use the same style.

The acronym stands for Cascading Style Sheets. All current browsers can handle CSS, and it is the best Web page formatting language produced to date. Some very popular browsers do not handle it as well as they should (see the section on browser problems) but largely support is good and developers are tending to use it much more often. Using CSS, you can define colours, backgrounds, borders, margins, alignment, fonts, sizes and loads of other things for almost any part of your web pages. The word cascading describes many of the features of CSS. Each element can be in a class. One of the features of CSS is that if the browser does not understand something, it will ignore it and move on to the next attribute.
