Blank area on top of a page and left of a page

#1

Dear All,

When I create a page in dreamweaver the page always starts 10 pixels from left
and 15 pixels from top.
It never starts from zero.
Therefore the webpage display blank on the explorer from the top and left site.
EXAMPLE: http://www.balmorehouse.co.uk/ -----
http://www.cityzen.co.uk
Question:
How can I get rid of this problem?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Link to an external stylesheet (using DW's CSS editor), or embed a
stylesheet in your code (between <head> and </head>) with the following
style in it (embedded shown for cut-n-paste convenience) (assuming you want
zero margins) -

<style type="text/css">

</style>

you could also try

body { margin : 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding:0px; }

or

body { margin : 0px; padding:0px; }

as a shorthand method.

This will take care of the margins in IE4+ and NN6. To take care of NN4x,
you will need to use MODIFY | Page Properties... and set the two right hand
margin fields (marginwidth and marginheight) to 0 (DMX and below).

Since you are still using inline margin specs in the body tag, this method
won't validate (and is not easy to do in DMX2004). To get completely valid
code that works for all
browsers in any version of DW, change your stylesheet as shown below -

body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0 -10px 0 -10px;
/*/*/margin: 0 0 0 0; /* */
}

But that's not how I recommended you do it. Using CSS to control this is
the right way.

Anyhow, you're welcome!
