Default Browser Styling
You may not realize it, each browser come with a default styling. Every browser interprets HTML markup using a set of default values. For example Safari sets the font to Times New Roman, the text color to black, and all links to blue. It also adds margins by default to most elements to ensure that even if there is no style sheet defined, a "bare" HTML page is still readable.
Overcoming various browser styling defaults can be a challenge.

normalize.css ( A project by @necolas and @jon_neal )
Normalize.css is a customisable CSS file that makes browsers render all elements more consistently and in line with modern standards.
What does it do?
- Preserves useful defaults, unlike many CSS resets.
- Normalizes styles for a wide range of elements.
- Corrects bugs and common browser inconsistencies.
- Improves usability with subtle improvements.
- Explains what code does using detailed comments.
Normalize.css is intended to be used as an alternative to CSS resets.
Have a read through the normalize.css file before using it, and customise it to meet the specific requirements of each project, instead of simply including it as a “one-size-fits-all” solution.
Check out Procssor if you prefer using a different CSS formatting style.
