How to clear all inherited css
I've got a div that incorporates some inline styling. Looks fine on a blank page, but when I insert it into a more complex page it inherits all the styling of the stylesheets.

Is there anyway to I can have this div ignore all inherited styling and just format itself according to browser defaults and its own inline styling?

No. You'll have to override all other properties being set on it.

scream agrees: Thanks. Seems like it would be a useful thing for a future CSS standard.
