Box Model Hack

I am redesigning my pages and using this rule:

body{ padding: 0; width: 88%; margin:0% 6%;border:0;}

It looks fine in IE6. But 10% of my site's viewers use IE 5-5.5

Do I have to rewrite that rule so that it will work right in IE 5-5.5 as
well as IE6?

Thanks, CMA

Thanks for the reference. It appears that if one sets a "width" and has no
padding or borders, but have margin, then the Box Model does not break down
and no hack is necessary.
