HTML question
 

I use topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" oin the body

In IE it looks all good with no space on the
left and top side, but with Netscape and
Opera there still is about 1cm white space..

How can I fix this?

Is it possible to set your BGCOLOR in your body to match the BG color of the graphic, or table that your trying to set to topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"

I've also had trouble with this.

Go here http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com/
and notice that even in Netscape he doesn't have that white space.
Maybe try learn it from his source, I looked but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Maybe his BG image is what helps to eliminate the white space.

Here's something interesting. I actually have the exact opposite problem http://LeeannOnline.com

In Netscape, it works fine.
In IE, I get that 1cm gap.

This may help to know,
My body tag has this in it,
leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0

According to "html for dummies - The quick reference 2nd Edition" (my one and only html book) the marginwidth, and marginheight tags are only used for Frames in IE.

Maybe that explains why @ LeeannOnline it works in netscape and not IE.

I use that code in the body tag so the
whole page including all tables will be shown
without white space..

ahh thanks RedShoe, I added
marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 and it works
now.. in IE AND Netscape..


So I guess this is the solutions, add

body leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0

to the body tag (WITHOUT "")

It doesn't work with Opera, because those attributes are NS/IE proprietary stuff. Opera only recognizes the correct W3 HTML standard. So you have to use CSS to set the document margins to zero width.

Add this

style="margin: 0px"

to your BODY tag, or

<style type="text/css">
<!--
BODY {margin: 0px}
-->
</style>

to your HEAD tag.

MrCockTale, when attribute values are pure numbers, it doesn't matter if you sorround them with quotation marks or not. It works both ways, and has exactly the same meaning to a browser. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif

If I remove the "" it works with Opera,
Netscape en IE and if I don't remove them
it only works with IE.
