geekdad Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Unless I'm doing something wrong the following elements have to be put into the body element and not in the CSS.leftmargin, topmargin, bottommargin,rightmargin. I'm testing with Firefox 3.0.7 and IE 7.0They work in CSS for other elements but not the <body> Please check it out and amend the html description for body since none of those elements are currently mentioned there.

Ingolme Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Those aren't tags, they're attributes. The margin property should work just fine on the body element in CSS. body { margin-top: 15px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 10px;} or shorthand: body { margin: 15px 10px 5px 10px; } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured out what the problem was. I have several different body flavours in the css file. I was missing the leading period in front of the one I was using, (testBody { instead of .testBody{)and so it wasn't being applied. Fixed that and now it works.
