A Comprehensive Guide to CSS Resets
This guide examines the infinite-like variety of CSS resets created by web developers and designers across the world. While almost all of these CSS resets are generally provided free for public use (many through Creative Commons licensing), it is incumbent upon you to check the terms of use before putting them to use in your projects. This guide follows Part 1, where the history of CSS resets was discussed; you’re advised to read that before this one to get the most out of this guide.

Image Reflections with CSS
Image reflection is a great way to subtly spice up an image. The first method of creating these reflections was baking them right into the images themselves. Within the past few years, we've introduced JavaScript strategies and CANVAS alternatives to achieve image reflections without having to modify original images. The minds behind WebKit have their own idea behind image reflection: pure CSS. The Webkit CSS The -webkit-box-reflect property accepts a value in the following format: -webkit-box-reflect: <direction><offset><mask-box-image> A sample usage of -webkit-box-reflect looks like: An involved CSS value but well worth the work.
