I'm having trouble understanding this.

I am using this code:
body { margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; }

but I thought percentages were bad to use instead of pixel sizes.
What I want to do is set ALL 4 Page margin widths to "0" so there are no margins and that will work in Netscape and IE instead of using the HTML Margin Widths and Heights.

Thanks,

Remember your grade school math:
Isn't 0% the same as 0px, or 0pt, or 0anything? Meddle not in the affairs of dragons,
For you are crunchy, and good with mustard.

Thanks, that's too far back to remember..

But it still doesn't work. I get a huge margin when using 0.

What I want is to set ALL page margins to 0 using CSS.

I put this is the head of a document and it worked in IE 5.5:
Code: 
<STYLE TYPE=&quot;text/css&quot;>
body { margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; }
</STYLE>

I wasn't using CSS, but I had big left & top margins with Netscape until I did the following:


<body bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; leftmargin=&quot;0&quot; topmargin=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>
