Do CSS resets operate above or beneath subsequent CSS styling changes? In other words, a random example:
If a reset normalizes the to being Times New Roman and size 12 font across all browsers, but I then apply a custom CSS that makes all of tags within bold.
Thus the purpose of a CSS reset is really to impose consistency across browsers on elements that you do not custom style? Please let me know if I’m understanding this correctly.
Thanks in advance for all answers!
The purpose of the CSS reset is to help make your page look consistent across all browsers. Here is a very detailed article on the subject by Eric Meyer.
Basically all browsers have different defaults for their CSS presentation, but these defaults are not the same. The CSS reset file attempts to create a consistent baseline across all the browsers.
