Using a CSS Reset File
By jonkarna
I'm interested in your experience
Do you use any sort of CSS reset file?
See results without votingOn 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.

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.
