Minify and Compress CSS Minifying CSS takes the beautified, well formed CSS code that you have written and removes the spacing, indentation, newlines, and comments. These elements are not required for CSS to be used successfully. It also makes the CSS more difficult to read. The 'best practice' of many developers is to maintain a 'beautified' version, and when rolling out their project will run the styles through a minification program. A Minify Example Before: After: Why use CSS Minifier? The purpose of minifcation is to increase the speed of a website. It is also common practice to combine all the CSS files for a single website into one file.

La technique du Reset CSS Le reset CSS est une technique qui consiste à réinitialiser à 0 la valeur de certains éléments HTML afin d'éviter une partie des différences d'affichage sur les divers navigateurs. Avant d'aller plus loin, rappelons que l'usage de cette technique est controversé. Si vous souhaitez l'utiliser, il est recommandé d'utiliser un Reset CSS évolué, comme celui proposé par Eric Meyer, et d'éviter l'utilisation du sélecteur universel (*). Le Reset CSS classique (déconseillé) Les navigateurs n'utilisent pas toujours les mêmes marges et padding par défaut pour les différents éléments HTML. Si on souhaite aller plus loin et gommer d'autres différences en remettant tout «à zéro», on peut aboutir au code suivant: Problèmes avec cette technique Le problème de cette technique, c'est qu'elle annule certains styles par défaut des navigateurs qui sont réellement utiles.

CSS Tools: Reset CSS The goal of a reset stylesheet is to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on. The general reasoning behind this was discussed in a May 2007 post, if you're interested. Reset styles quite often appear in CSS frameworks, and the original "meyerweb reset" found its way into Blueprint, among others. The reset styles given here are intentionally very generic. In other words, this is a starting point, not a self-contained black box of no-touchiness. If you want to use my reset styles, then feel free!
