How to view css behind default html tags?

Question

like <select>
<input>

Answer 1

I think I understand your question now. You are asking about the css styles that are responsible for the way default html tags look?

Well, i think html was created way before css was and html tags were able to be styled without the use of css. Therefore I do not think css is at all responsible for the way default html tags look like. I think they are just in built.

I think you have to go into the browser source code to be able to view what you are asking or
maybe some browsers could be having features which can enable you to do so.

can someone else elaborate more on this please?

From CSS Fundamentals on SoloLearn:
"
Cascade

The final appearance of a web page is a result of different styling rules.

The three main sources of style information that form a cascade are:

- The stylesheet created by the author of the page
- The browser's default styles
- Styles specified by the user

You could use the getComputedStyle() method (from 'window' global object, so available in global scope) wich return runtime browser full supported css properties keys/values, through a CCSStyleDeclaration object of any document element (provided as parameter)... but if your purpose is to design form input elements, you need to know that they don't have only real classic css behind them to be rendered in browsers, as they are handled by OS through the browser ^^ So it's less or more tricky to customize their appearence (some less, some more) and get them look same across different browsers/platforms...

Answer 8

Each browser has built in CSS, which can sometimes make cross browser CSS functionality difficult. For this reason a lot of developers use something like CSS Normalize (https://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/).

Other developers may use their own "reset" css file that is something like what is described here: https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/

This may not technically answer your question in the way you asked it, but these are common practices found in the industry for handling default css in various browsers.
