ToonMariner Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 * { padding: 0; margin: 0; } is just as effective.... and easier Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/69485-css-clear/#findComment-349211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzemonkey Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 It is good practice to use a "reset" (clear is something else!) to avoid default browser styles messing with your design. Eric Meyer uses this css reset to get you started with a "blank canvas"...it's pretty handy and you can modify it for the needs of your project. http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/69485-css-clear/#findComment-349578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
