How do you do it?

How do you get your content to touch the top of the page, rather than having a margin?
CSS? other?
I could really use that 1/4 inch!

In the <BODY> tag, here are some of your options

For netscape:

marginwidth=0 marginheight=0

For IE:

leftmargin=0 topmargin=0

And now with IE 6:

bottommargin=0 rightmargin=0 - if so inclined.

As usual, each browser remains stubborn so if you don't want any margins in either browser, you have to put them all in there.

Can it be defined in an attached stylesheet?

Hey Atlanta;)

Yes- your better off setting properties in your external sheet.


body {  
 margin: 0; 
 padding: 0; 
 }

I use margin and padding in a stylesheet (this covers MSIE, NS6 and Opera) and marginwidth and marginheight in the <body> tag (this covers NS4).

Note that this will also set the side margins to zero, which might not be what you want. You might want to try:

body { margin-top: 0; padding-top: 0; }

and
