Web designers and web designers around the world are struggling with a cross-browser compatibility. To make web development process easier, experts have created something called CSS Reset. CSS reset is implemented in order to normalize most of the margin and padding-related differences across different browsers. This is a starting point for each HTML/CSS job.

An example bellow is crated based on Eric Meyer’s CSS reset (meyerweb.com) and it is recommended by Royal Deer Design.
