Re: Netscape margin problem

Paul,

For one site I've built that cannot use CSS to remove the margins, this is
what I've used in the BODY tag:
leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"

I disregard the rightmargin and bottommargin settings because I have found
the generally don't work. Also, in Netscape, be aware that even if content
isn't tall enough to force a scrollbar, Netscape leaves room for it anyway,
which causes a "gutter" over on the right side of the window. :-( Such are
the breaks. If someone's been able to squash the gutter, I'd be VERY
interested to know how.

Subject: Netscape margin problem


| Hi there.
|
| I am working on a site that will have no margins around the html content.
I
| have used the marginwidth and marginheight attributes in the body tag to
| make it work in IE, and I have used the topmargin, leftmargin,
rightmargin,
| bottommargin as well, trying to get it to work in Netscape.  It works
great
| in IE(all content flush to sides), but it fails in Netscape on the right
and
| bottom of the display.
|
| Can someone please take a look at the following page and let me know what
| the error is?  This is such a simple thing, but it is driving me nuts!!!
