Tables not at page edge

#1

This is making me crazy. Every page I create with Dreamweaver 4.0 won't allow
the pages to go to the top or left edge. There is always a 20 px space from
the top and the left side. How do I fix this?

<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0">

Thanks John... I just figured it out...

Actually, the best way to do it is not as John recommended.

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: -10px 0 0 -10px;
/*/*/margin: 0 0 0 0; /* */
}

You know that CSS exists and these attributes don't?

Thanks Murry...

I ended up using:

<STYLE TYPE='text/css'>
body {margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;
</style>

Which seems to work. Should I replace it with:

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

Ken:

It should be -

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

and, yes, you could use that.
