Question from someone who is not an expert in crafting CSS: Is normalize.css something that needs to be actively maintained as newer (versions?) browsers come up or older browser have some changes ?
It sounds to me that CSS Reset might be a "bulldozer" and is absolutely inelegant, but I would not have to download a newer version of it every 6 months as I probably would have to do with normalize.css. Am I missing something here ?
- iaskwhy 15y agoIf we assume old browsers won't have new versions and newer browsers will be getting closer to the standard then I don't think you need to keep updating your code. Old simple CSS code usually works great on newer versions.
- necolas 15y agoGood question. Even CSS resets undergo changes over time (Eric Meyer has adapted his reset several times). But resets are more limited in scope. Normalize.css includes things like: consistent `abbr`, `mark`, `svg` styles; improved `font-size` and `font-family` inheritance for forms and pre-formatted text; and fixes for a few IE, WebKit, and Firefox bugs. Their approaches are different. But I don't think you'll need to update it regularly - just at the start of a project.
