Thanks, Brian, that's the kind of information I need. I'm just beginning a project now and the CSS so far is basically for the header and for the listomatic simple horizontal menu navbar. Looks fine in the "Windows Big 3" (IE, Opera, FF), but I had already noticed some browser-induced inconsistencies (mostly positioning in this case) while cleaning up the CSS to get there. I think I'll add the reset CSS before going forward and see if that simplifies dealing with the most egregious of the incompatibility aspects of the development. Couple of other questions: Do you use the base reset CSS and then modify that in the same file or create a separate override file? Both approaches were discussed (and argued about ;-) in the thread referenced above. I think I would tend toward the single file approach; the base is minified and isn't that heavy so I think it would have minimal weight impact. Also, you say you're using the 2nd version. While researching this I came across three versions, the initial "Reset Styles" of 12 April, the second "Reworked Reset" of 14 April, and the most recent (AFAIK) "Reset Reloaded" of 1 May. Which one are you using?
