I run a lot of tutorials over at MightyPixelWarrior.com and I usually mention in passing during many of these tutorials, that we need to “reset our CSS”. I don’t want to spend a ton of time explaining it each time, so this is the video I send people to that want to better understand what I mean when I tell them to reset their CSS.
I show 5 different ways to do it here, and also 2 different templates (Eric Meyers, and HTML5 Doctor). By the end of this video you will fully understand even more than you ever wished to know about CSS Resets.
For the rest of the links, and written description visit the video homepage here:
