I always 'reset' css before creating a new page. I load my CSS files (note that I load reset first, after that the actual layout):
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css-styles/reset.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css-styles/all.css" />
My reset CSS looks like this:
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; outline: 0; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 100%; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;} :focus { outline: 0;} body { line-height: 1; color: black; background: white;} ol, ul { list-style: none;} table{ border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0;} caption, th, td { text-align: left; font-weight: normal;} blockquote:before, blockquote:after, q:before, q:after { content: "";} blockquote, q { quotes: "" "";}
