Most of the novice CSS designers don’t realize the importance of creating a “reset.css” file. Different browsers process code differently. What may look perfect in Firefox, may be off in Internet Explorer. There are many CSS Resets all over the internet that help combat browser problems. The major problem with using one of the many currently existing frameworks is that they aren’t tailored specifically to you.
Now its time to creat your own custom reset file. In this tutorial you will find How to Create Your Own Simple Reset.css File for your next website project. I hope you will enjoy this tutorial.
Step: 1 Remove margin and padding elements
[code lang="css"] html, body, div, span, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, blockquote, pre, em, font, img, small, strong, sub, sup, ul, ol, li, dl, dt, dd, fieldset, form, label, legend, tr, th, td, input, select,textarea [/code] [code lang="css"] { margin:0; padding:0; border:0; outline:0; } [/code]
Step:2 Reset typographic styles:
[code lang="css"] h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { font-size: 100%; } em { font-style: italic; } strong { font-weight: bold; } [/code]
Step:3 Reset unordered lists:
[code lang="css"] ul, ol { list-style-type: none; } [/code]
Step:4 Get rid of borders::
[code lang="css"] img, fieldset { border:0; } [/code]

You can safely add in Step 4 “a img { border: 0; }”
And why on earth in this comment field is the captcha situated below the form button when JS is disabled? Great source of error and frustration!
