One really nice thing that I’ve found in the Yahoo Developer Network was the Yahoo User Interface Core CSS Foundation. In practice, the foundation is made of three CSS files:

  • The CSS Reset: “removes the inconsistent styling of HTML elements provided by browsers. This creates a dependably flat foundation to built upon.”
  • The CSS Fonts: “provides cross-browser typographical normalization and control while still allowing users to choose and adjust their font size.”
  • and The CSS Base: “applies a style foundation for HTML elements that is consistent for A-grade browsers.”

All this sound very nice to me, since I’m not a CSS expert and I know those guys from Yahoo are. A simple and fast way to get a common look to your websites at least in the most common web browsers.

As a final tip, I also recommend the Grids CSS for those who are not very intimate with CSS and still want to build some simple layouts.
