Instead of: body,div,dl,dt,dd,ul,ol,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,form,fieldset,input,textarea,p,blockquote,th,td { margin:0; padding:0; } We can use: * { margin:0; padding:0; } I've not seen use of table-collapse and font-style in a reset before, am going to read up a little on that. I like the fonts & grids CSS resets! Thanks for your comments! My CSS starter sheet can be found here: http://www.faithinme.co.uk/blog/css-starting-template/2008/09/20/

The Yahoo CSS reset is quite similar to what i’m using except I have slimmed things down further.

Instead of:
body,div,dl,dt,dd,ul,ol,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,form,fieldset,input,textarea,p,blockquote,th,td {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

We can use:
* { margin:0; padding:0; }

I’ve not seen use of table-collapse and font-style in a reset before, am going to read up a little on that. I like the fonts & grids CSS resets!

Thanks for your comments!

Do you have a standard CSS sheet as well? We've found that the Yahoo CSS reset found here: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/reset/ is very useful and goes along way to ensure our sites look good in all browsers...

If I am working on CMS or Ecommerce websites I tend to use mainly XHTML DTD. I think the main point is to use a Strict DTD whether it be HTML or XHTML. The choice of using XHTML when XML isn't going to be used on the site is just down to personal preference. Thanks for your comments!

You would benefit by having a mixture of classic (HTML) and cutting–edge (XML), also it would be future-proof.
