Hey champ,

this has frustrated me for a long time ! Finally went searching for a
fix, and presto (i love the internet! hehe) ... simply add in
rightmargin="0" and bottommargin="0" into your body tag. For some
reason dreamweaver doesn't include these! weird!?!

sssoooo your body tag should look something like this ...

<body leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" topmargin="0"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

anyway, all the best dude.
james.

Dreamweaver doesn't include them because it's the wrong thing to do. If you
want to do it correctly then read this -

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 : 0; padding:0; }

as a shorthand method (you don't need units on a zero value).

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; /* */
}
