Ply: minimalist CSS library

What you get:

  • The universal spacing reset rule (*{margin:0;padding:0;}) for consistent cross-browser spacing.

  • Minimal set of spacing rules to rebuild your page's natural intestinal flora after the above spacing-reset antibiotic (line heights/leading, ordered/unorderd lists, headers).

  • Richard Rutter-style cross-browser font-size normalization.

  • Commented and version-controlled. Each line documents the purpose of its own existence. Well, not yet fully. Soon.

  • Default sans-serif font everywhere.

  • Ugly but-not-totally objectionable table styling.

What you don't:

  • Full-blown Eric Meyer-style reset stylesheet. No need to rebuild the world if your don't nuke it all in the first place.

  • Typography. Tripoli is very pretty. For traditional document-based pages. It gets in the way with web apps, which Ply targets.

  • Print styles.

  • "Plugins"

Browser Support

Ply is tested against IE6, IE7, IE8, Firefox 3, Safari 3 and Safari 4.
