Question

I have a page with

* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

set and it’s the only way I can get the layout to work properly across all the browsers, but it unfortunately also makes any buttons in forms looks really ugly. I want the browser default styling on the button.

Is there any kind of CSS I can put to fix it?

Answer 1

I don’t think there is a way to return to CSS back to the browser once you’ve specified a rule that overrides the browser style (never seen one in all my years, anyway).

I think, rather than a blanket reset like what you have there, you might want to try using a more sophisticated reset: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ or http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/cssreset/

Of course, you can further adapt either of these – but they are pretty solid foundations for CSS.
