Re: Top-left margin

Fuzzy

I didn't include a URL 'cause there isn't one yet.
Here's the code.   I'm just trying to perfect a technique
to use later.  As I say, it works fine in both MSIE 5.5
and Net 4.6     What little  HTML I know,  I have learned from
this list and  one thing I have seen here over & over
is to validate & I was just trying to do that.


The first error I get using the W3c validator is:
Error: there is no attribute "LEFTMARGIN" for this
element (in this HTML version)

I also get basically the same error  for marginwidth &
marginheight as well.

There wasn't anything about setting these margins
in my HTML For Dummies book so I just looked
around until I saw a site that displayed a graphic
in the top left corner & copied the code.  ( If I remember
correctly, this came from one of the major news services.)

Thanks
