[thelist] CSS -falling over defaults

I spent about six hours over the last two days repeatedly returning to a
web page I'm designingtrying to figure out why a cluster of tags kept
falling out of the rather narrow enclosing div I put them. The dropout
problem was solved when I gave the h3 tag no margins. I had forgot that
h3, by default, has margins attached to it, they need to be explicitly
removed if there is to be no space around around an h3 tag. It made me
realize that perhaps many of my frequent teeth-grinding moments designing
with CSS are caused by this phenomenon
Is there a resource/tip sheet that gives the default display settings for
standard html tags?
Is there CSS editing software or a browser plugin that will list all of
the attributes of a tag/object not just the ones applied by style sheets?
many thanks
