Jack McKalling Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Firstly, I would suggest you search for a better webhost, it is very hard to develop without full controll over your entire code. If the webhost does not permit modification of that body tag, it would definitely limit what you can do. No stylesheet can overrule the style attribute for instance.However, secondly, I would not reccommend positioning the body. It seems only logical to me that it should not work, as the body representsw the content of the webpage, which is tipically the browser itself. Some sollutions you may like to consider:- If you want to position something, try using another element that you place inside the body, a div for example. You can apply any style on it, whatever limitation was placed on the page by your host.- If the removal of some content from view is what you want, you could simply place it in comments too.- If you want to automatically scroll the page the hide something instead, you could use the javascript "scrollBy()" method for the document if you know howmany pixels the content is viewed in.Whatever choice you choose, it is a good practice to use a better webhost that enables you to fully manage your pages, instead of limiting what you can edit. There are so many services to find, one better that the other, both paid and free, that support loads of features that you, as a developer, would appreciate. Like FTP support, instead of editing online (for the advanced developer). If I may reccommend a good webhost (free, no ads, 100MB storage, FTP & PHP & MySQL support), take www.dhost.info.

chibineku Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Your body tag styles also have several syntax errors. Declare all your styles at once, in the same set of quotes:<body style="font-family: tahoma; background: #fff url(/a/pic/bg_writer2.gif); margin-left: 0; margin-top: 0;">Note that it's margin-left, margin-top and not leftmargin and topmargin. Also, as Jack said, you shouldn't be positioning the body that way. You should have a look at the CSS tutorials, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 And to take it a step further, note that the best way of styling your elements would be using a stylesheet, of which you would learn all about in the tutorials. Not even noting the attributes that you cannot modify on your body element, are just in HTML format, not complying to the Xhtml syntax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack McKalling Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Ofcource you can apply style to the body using the ID, but unfortunately not all styles can be overruled that way. Inline style has precedance over stylesheet, but those topmargin etc. attributes on the body tag are deprecated so I cannot tell if they can be overruled by it.The best way to solve all this and future problems, is to migrate to another host. As a beginning developer, you mustn't be limited to some idiotic rules of a webhost like this. There are loads out there, though the best are really hidden between the lot. So I can reccomend Dhost in the above link, which does not limit at all, and gives you loads of features for free as well. You should try it out (it may take a little time before your appication gets reviewed, as this is done manually there).Oh, yeah, advertising the webhost I too use..
