[RESOLVED] Eliminating the top margin in IE

Dawg

My code has eliminated the top margin for FF but the IE browser still has a big margin.

<body bgcolor="#000000"  leftmargin="-10" topmargin="-10" marginwidth="-5" marginheight="-5">

I used all sorts of numbers and left things with a negative number.

The page can be viewed here. There is still work to be done.

I used css to format the page first but many of our users are still using older browsers at work (corporations and the military). The CSS worked fine with new browsers but did not with older(IE6.0) ones. Both pages are designed for 1024x768 resolution

I am using tables. But that damn top margin in IE.

Thanks

Dave

You may need to explicitly set both the margin and the padding for the body:

body {
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
}

That should work the same in IE6 as it would in IE7. If anyone in your company is using a browser that would not support that, they are way out of date.

I am sure you have tested with
<BODY TOPMARGIN="0" LEFTMARGIN="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" MARGINWIDTH="0">

As told, you should use CSS styles instead.
This should work in most browsers and in most cases.
If it does not, you should force your friends and urge you visitors
to upgrade to later versions!

<body style="color:white; background-color:#000000; margin:0px; padding:0px;">
