I used:

body { margin: 0px;}

but still see margin gaps in NN 4.x

do I need to use all of this if I do not want to use @import to create a separate style sheet for NN4.x?



body {margin: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
}

Also, is there a browser compatability problem with:
<body leftmargin=&quot;0&quot; topmargin=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>

Net Mechanic red flags this code as an error.

The only solution I have found for NN 4.x is body {margin: -10 0 0 -10} Until NN 6.0 I would use this. I now have stopped because 6.x shows the negative margin. IE will stay at a 0 margin when using the negative. I figure if I code for NN make it the newest version. DeZiner

There's nothing wrong with
<body leftmargin=&quot;0&quot; topmargin=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>

I personally use this for years and it never fails. Default margins are set to zero in all browsers if you use this, and you don't need any CSS at all.

good luck

That's the code that Dreamweaver creates when you use the Page Properties dialog box. Net Mechanic flags that code as an error, especially in certain browsers (NN6?).

I had also read that that coding is deprecated and margins need to be set via CSS body properties.
