add space at the top of every page

[idtstudios2]

I need to be able to add a 30px space/margin at the top of everypage that includes a javascript snippet and I need it to work with atleast firefox, opera, and IE. Since this would have to "overide" any css the page has i'm at a complete lost on how to pull this off. Any suggestions? thanks

Try:

document.body.topMargin = 30;

didn't work. I'm off to bed but if anyone knows / comes up with a solution it would be very appreciated. Thanks for trying tsdragon.

Firefox requires units be provided, and I think Tracy meant "marginTop" instead of "topMargin":

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].style.marginTop = '30px';

Hope this helps,

Nope, I meant topMargin, and it is not a style attribute, it's a property of the document body. Also, there are NO units allowed, the parameter is the number of pixels. I coded it exactly as it should be coded.

Here's the MSDN Reference.

Unfortunately, according to the ref there is "no public standard that applies to this property", which usually means an IE-only extension. I should have checked that, but it was late.

Thanks guys,

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].style.marginTop = '30px';

seemed to work for both FF and IE.

Thanks again.
