Margins in the body tag

Peter Wranger

Hi,

I've been using the BODY tag with leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" etc etc.

W3c validator tells me this is not right....

What is the correct way to push the content right to the top left?

Any suggestions gratefully received!

With CSS.

body { margin: 0; }

Nope, it is:

body { margin: 0; padding: 0;}

This will work in IE4+, Opera 3.5+, Netscape 6.0+, all Mozilla/Firefox,
all Safari etc.
