Suggestion for CSS-RESET property in CSS3

First I will give example and my problem with HTML language.

Two days back I have was searching for Cool looking CSS based DropDrop menu. I found a website which were having such menu. I decided to copy it. To copy a specific module from a website is not at-all easy task. We can solve this problem then lots of remix and reusable module will be made. Anyways, I used firebug to search "div" which has code for menu. I extracted that HTML code. Thanks to GOD that it was not a dynamically generated code. I download every css files and looked for "id"s and "class"s which was their in copied code. It was somewhat working. Finally I used firebug to make a side by side debugging to generate exact behavior. Finally I have done it. but when I tried to integrate it on Drupal website, It was not looking exactly same. After some more Firebug debugging, I made some change. It was taking some parent css properties which were not detected using ids and classes.


I think, web developed should be done modular design approach.

For example, A cool CSS button or may be JavaScripted button can have this code.

<div id="some id">
      <style>   blah blah blah   </style>
      <html>   blah blah blah   </html>
      <script>   blah blah blah   </script>  
</div>

you can further compress all the three section into some DATA URI scheme (or some base64 string)

Now if somebody else want to reuse the code he can use

<div id="some id" css-reset>
      <style>   blah blah blah   </style>
      <html>   blah blah blah   </html>
      <script>   blah blah blah   </script>  
</div>
                  OR


<div id="some id" css-reset>
      <div class='base64code"'>
                    345423%%#@%2523453245#%#@$%$756756431#$%#@$%............
       </div>
</div>

css-reset property will restrict or reset CSS or JavaScript processing inside that particular node <div/>.
It is just like a local isolated scope for integrating a module.


It is just a thought.
Also, I was thinking to create a GUI for development where anybody can create a nice collaborate GUI for creating 'easily reusable modules'. So I am researching on all options.

Thanks
