Is there CSS declaration to set all the contents / children of an element to no style?

Here is why I ask, I am building a CMS and when the user places and HTML field on the page there is a preview button to preview the entered HTML. The contents of the HTML field gets loaded into a preview div with javascript and displayed on the page.

All of my CMS styles are being applied to the users HTML... which fucks things up. I would like to be able to say:

#htmlPreview * {
NO STYLE / DEFAULT STYLE
}

but have never heard of such a thing. I could go through and name out all the HTML elements and set all the attributes to default... but it seems there would be a better way.

I could also write come clever javascript that would parse each element in the preview pane and eliminate the style... but I would prefer to do it with CSS.

Thanks

I don't think so dude. You just have to cancel out the styles yourself. Are you not able to edit the css directly and just get rid of it??

set everything in your style sheet to the div it is contained in

eg.


#body ul {
blah blah
}

instead of

ul {
blah blah
}

that should work if i am unstanding what is happening correctly
