Tiny reset stylesheet for Firefox, Webkit, and Chromium browsers.
Copy ./baseboard.css into a project.
Baseboard changes a handful of css properties outside the responsibility of layout and typography.
The following properties are resolved to their corresponding values on all elements:
padding: 0margin: 0border: nonetext-alignment: startlist-style: none
Baseboard directly references browser code. I can't guarantee other stylesheets do but this one does.
This stylesheet is limited in scope and focused on a small set of properties. I can't guarantee other stylesheets are but this one is.
From experience, typography is assumed to be styled eventually and wholeheartedly.
Until then, I believe some visually significant correlation to font-size or line-height is more accessible than the absence of a correlation.
There differences between input elements across browsers eventually spill into the responsibility of typography and layout.
Many vertical alignment pains stem from line-height and font-size properties.
The point of baseboard is to be targeted and concise. Wildcards have neither of those properties.
I believe wildcard selectors do not take a performance hit worth avoiding their use. The * is pretty cool.
Baseboard uses the following default stylesheets:
