HTML5 Reset – is a set of HTML5 and CSS3 templates you can use as a base template to start a new project.

This reset package by Monkey Do is more than just a single style sheet. It includes a basic HTML5 document structure, with all the every day stuff like title, header, footer, etc., clearing floats, correcting IE problems, and much more.

You can choose from two versions, the ‘full version’ (fully commented or without comments) and one that has just the basic features.

… Google recently releasing the VP8 codec, and the WebM project coming into existence. Opera, Firefox, Chrome and IE9 all have support in final builds, developer builds, or at least support announced for this format, and Flash will be able to play VP8.

This means that we will soon be able to create a single version of the video that will play in the <video> element in most browsers, and the Flash Player in those that don’t support WebM natively.
