Perhaps I am missing something here. I looked at the demo page in FF10, Chrome17, and IE 8, and I see different spacing in rendering across those platforms (mostly in IE8, but FF10 and Chrome17 are not the same either)

Resets attempt to make a site look the same in all browsers by resetting them all to the same starting point. They give you a blank canvas.

Alternatively, Normalize attempts to make all browsers behave how you'd expect by resetting their inconsistencies, but it doesn't bother trying to make them all look the same. It just gives you a predictable canvas.


Not just spacing. The font size seems consistently slightly larger. Have you checked the browser zoom level is 100%?


Ah. that was it. I had IE set to 110%

I have reset IE to 100%, and retaken the screen cap. I still see differences. take a look:
