I’ve been there. So have hundreds of others. The nonsense styling of the default.css by developers, the non-standards approach that they take time to put in from regular text (.Normal), HTML headings (H1, H2, H3…in uppercase) to outdated CSS rules with the lack of knowledge in writing CSS shorthand to reduce file size and increase productivity. It’s all ended today.
For those of you who are experienced web developers that have adopted the web standards to reach out to the world, there is no need to struggle with using Firebug or IE Developer Toolbar to hunt for CSS attributes that should be overridden against the DNN’s default. I offer to you, the simplest solution—the default.css MUST DIE.
