How to use CSS to reset the default browser element settings

Here is the contents of “reset.css”. I normally link this all my web sites.

/* RESET CSS FILE */


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,form,label,

legend,table,caption,tbody,tfoot,thead,tr,th,td

{border:0;outline:0;vertical-align:middle; background:transparent; margin:0; padding:0;}


* {margin:0 padding:0; }

a img { border:0 }


/*

This is called the clearfix "hack" to prevent container from colapsing

in on itself when all the elements inside are floated elements.

Make sure to add --[ class="container" ]-- to any object that you

don't want to colapse.

*/


.container:after {

   visibility: hidden; display: block; font-size:0;

   content: " "; clear: both; height: 0;

}


/* start commented backlash hack \*/

* html .container   {height: 1%; }

.container          { display: block; }

/* close commented backlash hack */


/* Easy way for me to float items */

.floatleft      { float:left;       }

.floatright     { float:right;      }

.floatmiddle    { margin: 0px auto; }
