What does “*” mean in CSS?

This is a common technique called a CSS reset. Different browsers use different default margins, causing sites to look different by margins. The * means “all elements” (a universal selector), so we are setting all elements to have zero margins, and zero padding, thus making them look the same in all browsers.
