What are some common global CSS issues and how can I fix them?

Common global CSS issues include specificity conflicts, unintended styles affecting multiple elements, and browser compatibility. To fix them, use more specific selectors, reset styles, and test across different browsers.

Can you explain specificity conflicts a bit more?

Sure! Specificity conflicts occur when multiple CSS rules apply to the same element. The browser uses specificity to determine which rule to apply, based on the type of selector used. Inline styles have the highest specificity, followed by IDs, classes, and then element selectors.

How can I reset styles to avoid these issues?

You can use a CSS reset stylesheet, like Normalize.css, which helps to reduce browser inconsistencies by providing a clean slate for styling.

What about browser compatibility? How can I ensure my CSS works everywhere?

To ensure browser compatibility, use feature queries, vendor prefixes, and tools like Autoprefixer. Always test your site in multiple browsers.
