Gify :

<div id="q-303">

The only disadvantage of using CSS especially CSS2 or CSS3 is that not every rules are supported by ie6, for instead ‘:checked’ attribute or some implementations of js.

</div>

<span class="quote"><a href="javascript:void(null)" title="Click here or select text to quote comment" onmousedown="quote('303', 'Gify', 'comment','div-comment-303', false, false); return false;" rel="nofollow">Quote</span>

I've been using Eric Meyer's reset stylesheet for ages and I can only highly recommend it to anyone, thus the posting. Never ment to take credits for it.

Did you get it from <a href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded/" rel="nofollow">http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/rese...</a> or elsewhere?
