browser reset using css and current standards.

[OrganizedFellow]

Many years ago, I'm certain that many of you (and I) used the reset developed by Eric Meyer

http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/

Sometime later, I switched to normalize 

https://github.com/necolas/normalize.css

Are browser resets still used?

Do you use them?

If so, which do you use?

Still using Eric Meyer's reset. Always works for me, so never really had a reason not to use it / look elsewhere

I normally just minimize both my pocketgrid and normalize and add them to the top of my style.css

One call, does it all

Any reason you chose this over others?

I picked normalize because it seems to be fairly recent. Last updated a few months ago.

[kongondo]

It turned out to be a battle between 'normalizing' and 'resetting'. After reading up on (and testing) resetting versus normalizing (and because I am lazy), I decided to go with resetting (normalizing meant adding a few extra lines of code which I was not keen on ). I then decided to choose from what's popular out there and is HTML5 friendly. Ended up with html5doctor

YIKES!

@kongondo

I see that it hasn't been updated in years (Sep 2010).

You only update something that needs updating . Eric Meyer's reset is still working fine for some people . Unlike CSS Frameworks, I doubt reset CSS change much over the years...
