A modern CSS reset file designed to be the starting point for any project. It establishes a predictable, zero-styled baseline for all HTML elements, making cross-browser development easier.
- Global Box-Sizing: Enforces
box-sizing: border-boxon all elements (*). - Responsive Media: Sets images and media elements to be block-level and fully responsive (
max-width: 100%). - Form Inheritance: Ensures form elements inherit font styles from the page body (
font: inherit;). - Zero-Styled Baseline: Removes default margins, paddings, and styling from lists, links, and forms.
- Full Height Support: Includes rules (
height: 100%;) for modern Flexbox/Grid layouts.
...and many other rules addressing browser specific inconsistencies (e.g., table styling, sub/sup alignment, and legacy fixes) are included within the heavily commented reset.css file.
