Using a CSS Reset File

I'm interested in your experience

Do you use any sort of CSS reset file?

On all the websites that I create, I use my own variation of Eric Meyer's Reset CSS. I've also used Yahoo's reset file for a while before I found this one.

The only reason I have made modifications was to accommodate for content generated through our cms. If I feel the need I add portions of the original reset file back using a reset class so that I can use it outside of the designated content area for the cms. I really enjoyed the collaboration that went into Eric Meyer's file also.

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,
b, u, i, center,
dl, dt, dd,
fieldset, form, label, legend {
background: transparent; border: 0; font-size: 100%;
margin: 0; outline: 0; padding: 0; vertical-align: baseline;
}
body {line-height: 1;}
blockquote, q {quotes: none;}
blockquote:before, blockquote:after,
q:before, q:after {content: '';    content: none;}

/* remember to define focus styles! */
:focus {outline: 0;}

/* remember to highlight inserts somehow! */
ins {text-decoration: none;}
del {text-decoration: line-through;}

/*JRK */
img {border: 0;}

ul.reset, ol.reset, ul.reset li, ol.reset li {
background: transparent; border: 0; font-size: 100%;
margin: 0; outline: 0; padding: 0; vertical-align: baseline;
}
ul.reset, ol.reset {list-style: none;}

Use of CSS Reset

I currently use a variation of the Blurpint CSS framework. It uses Eric Meyer's CSS reset file inside of it. The 960 Grid System is another CSS framework that I have been itching to give a try, but have yet to give it a spin. It also uses Eric Meyer's CSS reset file inside of it.
