CSS Reset refers to resetting the browser's style. In previous articles on 52CSS.com, similar knowledge was introduced, but it was not in-depth enough. Today we will look at ten examples of the CSS Reset method and learn the application of this method.
In various browsers, some default values are used for CSS selectors. For example, when h1 is not set to a value, a certain size is displayed. But not all browsers use the same values, so CSS Reset is used to make the style of the web page behave consistently in each browser.
1. Generic Reset CSS
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
border: 0;
}
This is also a CSS Reset method, which sets the padding, margin and border of all selectors to 0. This is a powerful method, the simplest and safest, however, it is also the most resource intensive. For small websites, using this will not cause a big waste of resources, but if it is a website with a very large structure like Yahoo, you just need to selectively reset CSS to reduce resource waste.
