# Reset CSS: Basic Test Suite for YUI Reset

YUI Reset is the lowest-level member of YUI's CSS suite. It normalizes the rendering of the most common HTML elements, neutralizing subtle differences that exist between the browser style sheets among the A-Grade browsers.

View example in new window.

## About This Example

The normalization provided by YUI Reset CSS includes the following characteristics:

- black text on a white page background,
- margin and padding to zero,
- table borders to zero,
- no visual list style (`ol`, `ul`, `dl`),
- all fonts at 100% of base,
- font-weight and font-style to normal,
- better (but still incomplete) font inheritance into forms,
- reduced line-height disruption from `sub` and `sup`.

Open this example is a new window to see a test page of HTML elements with YUI Reset applied.
