I'm trying to locate an HTML template that shows all the elements in HTML, so that the basic aspects of typography, colour schemes, margins and so on can be applied to it using CSS. Those styles can then be merged with styles that handle the layout for a given project, and then tweaked a little for any given problem.

I realize I could do this myself but thought that someone else may have already done this or know where to find such a template.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks to David Dorward for clarifying my question

    @robobooga — see the last sentence of the question, and why would it have more than one div in it in the first place anyway? (re edit:) different set widths, heights and colors?! I think you have completely misunderstood the question. Commented Feb 1, 2011 at 7:37

    @sarnold I dont mean a template that I can style then use on everything I do, I mean a template as mentioned above then every different project I do, I can then style the template and save it as a guide to the project. Commented Feb 1, 2011 at 7:40

David!!! you are a lifesaver. This is exactly what I needed for my css class. I'm just going to use this and have my students hack on it and do various exercises. I'm so happy about this question, though I think it belongs in the webmasters stack exchange. thank you thank you thank you.

Try CSS Zen Garden. It has almost every HTML element, and they have all been styled to the varying tastes of different developers.

+1: I don't think that forms are included on Zen but I agree it's probably a very good start because having elements only doesn't show their relation that usually happens (like headings and paragraphs for instance) and is important with element margins and/or padding etc. Adding forms can be done later if needed.

One great and well maintained resource for this purpose is the test–file from the normalize.css project, which can be found on github.
