Firefox的默认样式表

每个浏览器都有自己的默认样式，这是一段预定义的CSS，用以简单地呈现网页。在Firefox中的地址栏中输入resource://gre/res/html.css即可以看到该浏览器的默认样式。在Firebug 1.2 Alphas的styles中就可以看到默认样式对页面定义样式的影响。毫无疑问，理解和学习浏览器的默认样式能更好的理解浏览器对解析样式和呈现页面。Firefox3和Firefox2相比，默认样式仅有8处不同，但这些改变也可以让我们感觉到Firefox3在样式上的改进：

虽然CSS2.1的附录里给了HTML4默认样式的建议(Appendix D. Default style sheet for HTML 4)，这本身就不是一个很完美的解决方案，加上各个浏览器附加上一点自己私有的属性，Firefox默认样式表中清楚的说明了这点，导致了各个浏览器的默认样式表不尽相同，比如对比这份参考CSS2.1的对HTML4默认样式的建议通过实践总结出来的IE6的默认样式表(INTERNET EXPLORER 6 DEFAULT STYLE SHEET)。解决这个问题的常见方法就是通过一个通用的CSS文件来重置HTML标签的样式，使其在各个浏览器中表现的一样，比如YUI Reset CSS和Eric Meyer的CSS Tools: Reset CSS就是很好的解决方案。
