CSS * question

Calling all CSS gurus,
I have a form & script that uses this line of code in it's CSS.

* { font-family:verdana; font-size:14px; line-height:150%}

Am I to assume the asterisk is some sort of CSS wildcard? I haven't seen
this used before, but it sure messed up my page. When I commented it out,
page reverted back to normal.

Yes... the asterisk is a wildcard. It's very much use to zero out all
margins and padding like this * {marhin:0;padding:0;}
