Looking for a cross browser general css stylesheet

Not looking for a special or fancy css stylesheet.
For a HTML beginner, stylesheet is still far away from now. Not even said
thinking about cross browser. But, an XHTML page without stylesheet look
ugly.
SO, I am looking for a "cross browser" "general" stylesheet that can be
apply to a general HTML page.

body {
background-color: #eee;
color: #333;
font-size: 100%;
font-family: Georgia, serif;
}

h1 {
font-size: 144%;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}

Seriously, give us some guidance! What do you want? If you have this
little knowledge, why are you writing XHTML rather than HTML?

CSS is *really* easy so long as you stick to colours and fonts. It gets
trickier when you start adding in positioning.

I don't know what you mean by "cross browser", but a good way to
learn is to find a suite whose appearance you like and study its
style sheets.

Maybe an online CSS generator like
http://www.csscreator.com/version1/
can help in creating your first stylesheet, so you have something to learn
form. I haven't checked the quality of the output.

some designs are better than others, but it's an intriguing concept.

I like it because it jolts me out of the tracks my mind tends to run
in. I should use it more than I do. :-)
