reset.css hacks III : body margins #62

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
reset.css defines body's top/bottom margins to 1.5 ems, wich may be
practical in several cases, but would requiere a fix more than frequently.

In order to achive the purpose of reset.css, wich is to create a "tabula
rasa" (flat base) that creates a similar starting point in all browsers, I
propose to get rid of any margin definition on body tag, at least in reset.css

Many web designs require to have no margins at all in the body, thus IMHO
this definition would be more adequate as part of the fancy-type plugin.

This is an issue many people bring up. My take is that a site built with BP 
should look perfectly fine out of the 
box, and to achieve that, a top margin on the body is quite necessary. 

The rule used to be in grid.css, but it seemed a bit redundant to reset this in 
reset.css, and then stting it again 
in grid.css. 

However, considring how many people disagree with this, I think I'll remove it. 
Thanks. :)

I've moved the margin to grid.css, so that reset.css will do what one would 
expect. Thanks!
