I would say    simple zero will work  0px is a zero       lt body style  margin  0   gt    but maybe something overwrites your css   assigns different style after you      If you use Firefox - check out firebug plugin   And in Chrome - just right-click on the page and chose  inspect element  in the menu  Find BODY in elements tree and check its properties

You need to use css   It s how modern web design gets things done   This is a basic css walk through   Your html file would be like    really simple html        lt html gt       lt head gt       lt link rel  stylesheet  type  text css  href  mystyle css    gt       lt  head gt       lt body gt       lt  body gt       lt html gt    Your css file  mystyle css  would look like   body     margin-top 0px   margin-left 0px   margin-right 0px

lt body topmargin  0  leftmargin  0  rightmargin  0  gt    I m not sure where you read this  but this is the accepted way of setting CSS styles inline is    lt body style  margin-top  0px  margin-left  0px  margin-right  0px   gt    And with a stylesheet   body     margin-top  0px    margin-left  0px    margin-right  0px

Try using CSS   body      margin  0 0 auto 0      The order is clockwise from the top  so top right bottom left

Yeah a CSS primer will not hurt here so you can do two things  1 - within the  tags of your html you can open a style tag like this    lt style type  text css  gt    body      margin  0px                this is the same as writing      body   margin-top  0px  margin-right  0px  margin-bottom  0px  margin-left  0px        I m adding px here for clarity sake but the unit is not really needed if you have 0      look into em  pt and   for other unit types       the rules are always clockwise  top  right  bottom  left       lt  style gt    2- the above though will only work on the page you have this code embeded  so if if you wanted to reuse this in 10 files  then you will have to copy it over on all 10 files  and if you wanted to make a change let s say have a margin of 5px instead  you would have to open all those files and make the edit  That s why using an external style sheet is a golden rule in front end coding   So save the body declaration in a separate file named style css for example and from your add this to your html  instead    lt link rel  stylesheet  type  text css  href  style css   gt    Now you can put this in the  of all pages that will benefit from these styles and whenever needed to change them you will only need to do so in one place  Hope it helps  Cheers
