Do you use CSS reset files ?

In #Css , #Development , #Projects , by Cyril N.

Any browser comes with its own implemented method for displaying non-css setted html pages, but they have their own set of styles, sometimes regardless of the W3C recommandation, and so often different between them.

Nowadays, the trends are to use reset css files to make your style identical for any browser, without breaking your head on the wall.

The most commonly used CSS Reset are :

But you, do you use a CSS Reset method or file ? Do you use your own ?

Leave your though, I'll be pleased to discuss with you about that ! :)

    I don't use reset files anymore because each time you want to do something you have to re-code from scratch. I rather like to play with browser diferences than have to recode each padding and margin for every h1, h5 ... or forms.
    When you know browsers issues ... you don't build crazy layouts with float and margin ... due to IE.
    The best way to avoid bugs is to teach to you designer css and let him deal with it !!!

    I use it because it's avoiding me to check everything on every browser.
    I'm feeling more comfortable with it as the result will be closer in every brother, and the work in each browser is much easier.

    The thing is : you have to know what is in your reset.css file.

    I'm using the one from Eric Meyer, with only a difference : line-height: auto; in the body.

    What about you Cyril?

    I agree with you @Pierre, about teaching your designer to do it. I'm currently doing that :D

    @Nyro : Actually, anything, but I think I'm gonna give a try to the Eric Meyer's because I had some strange reaction between Linux and Windows with a difference of 0.5px that matters :/
