leftmargin=0 and topmargin=0 in XHTML?

[pelachrum]

in the days of HTML to get a page to "hug" the left and top edge of browser window (that is to have graphics for instance bleed right to the edge) you'd use the leftmargin="0" and topmargin="0" in the body tag

from what I understand that is no longer supported by XHTML 1.0, correct?

what do you do these days?

CSS : body { margin:0px } should suffice

Kaled.

To account for Opera prior to the version 9 beta which was recently released, you need to also set the padding to zero on the body element:

body {margin:0;padding:0;}

Other browsers all use the margin.
