    He just uses a simple:

    Quote:
    * { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

    Very simple.

    Yep that’s about it… it’s worked fine for me on countless projects. 62.5% is if you want to size text in EMs and have the 1em=10px thing going on. All good, I just hardly ever use EMs anymore personally.

    I’ve been pondering making the change over to px as IE6 slowly gets shunned. Is that what you’re using now?

    Interesting.

    I’ve read countless times the suggestion of using em’s instead of pixels when it comes to font size, I’ve worked with em’s for years very well and I still do.

    Chris, would you mind explaining why you yourself use pixels for font size instead of em’s and what are the benefits you see in doing so?

    I never expected this :mrgreen::

    Code:
    body { font:13px/1.4 Verdana, “Lucida Grande”, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; …}

    Not sure if you do already, I haven’t searched, but it’d be great if you could address this topic as an article in the main page for everyone, since many people consider your comments and recommendations a lot.

    Thanks.
