Question
Hi (please excuse me for my ugly english ;-) )
Do you know if the default CSS of any user agent ... :
- depends on its release number ?
- depends on its layout engine ?
- depends on the release number of its layout engine ?
- depends on the OS ?
- depends on the OS release number ?
If yes (for any choice), have you any example do demonstrate it ?
Thank you very much. :-)
Solution
It only depends on the browser make/version. You can find here an overview of default styles.
The main differences are in the margins of the block elements. One would recommend to use a CSS reset sheet to clean it up, but I'd just specify the margin for every actually-to-be-used block element yourself.
OTHER TIPS
It depends on the rendering engine used by the browser.
Unless you specifically need to know the defaults properties for your project - I'd recommend looking into using a 'reset script'.
If you use such a script, it will standardise the CSS defaults so they're the same across a range of browsers. Yahoo produce a good one, which is updated with each browser release (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/reset/)
