There are three main CSS files (besides the ones required by the 
JavaScript controls)..

   Reset - wipes everything clean for you so that margin, borders, 
padding, etc. are all zeroed out (this is the no-brainer)

   Grids - supports all sorts of flexible layouts, and has an 
interactive design tool to help you get the layout you desire

   Fonts - makes font stuff consistent across browsers

Or you can get all of this aggregated into a single CSS file 
"reset-fonts-grids.css".

They offer these in a few formats; minimal, normal (with comments), and 
debug (with logging).  They also host the CSS for you, if you wish.  You 
just link to them directly.  See:

And they make all of there stuff work pretty widely.  See:
