Body topmargin and marginheight

Do I need to emulate these in CSS?

[IanTurner]

When laying out a page using CSS do I need to use a style to display marginheight and topmargin attibutes?

You can still have the marginheight and topmargin attributes to the body tag, but you can also use a

BODY { margin-top: 100px; }

in a stylesheet.

Yes, if you're looking to eliminate margins your rule might look like this:

body {
margin: 0; /* sets all to 0 */
padding: 0; /* think Opera sets padding on body */
}

Or if you need different margins/padding on different sides use the shorthand like this:

body {
margin: 0 10px 0 20px; /* top, right, bottom, left */
}
