title: reset the css of a input[radio]
body: <p>I searched but did not find any answers and I need to understand.  I am noob to css etc.. But I'm learning quickly.
  I recently copied some code (shame on me I don't recall the authors name) that creates tabs using pure css.  The tabs code uses radio input's.  So to hide the radio element the author did the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>input[type="radio"] {
      position: absolute;
      top: -9999px;
      left: -9999px;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but later in my code I need a standard radio button (vanilla html) and I don't know how to reset the style for one element.  I can use a fancy css radio button and that does appear to work.  But still the bigger question is how does one reset the values for any one element?  I can say "all: initial;"  does not do the trick.</p>
