Tables question

Hi all

I am using FP2002
I have come across sites the have been made up of tables in the same way as
I have created my sites but my sites have a margin at the top of the page
before the table starts but the sites I've come across have the tables
starting straight away without a margin, How is it done please?

Add the following to your opening body tag:

topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"

Better, yet, do this -

Link to an external stylesheet, or embed a stylesheet in your code (between
<head> and </head>) with the following style in it (embedded shown for
cut-n-paste convenience) (assuming you want zero margins) -

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;
padding:0; }
-->
</style>
(when the value is zero, units are not required)

you could also try

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

or

body { margin : 0; padding:0; }

as a shorthand method.

This will take care of the margins in IE4+ and NN6. To take care of NN4x,
you will need to use MODIFY | Page Properties... and set the two right hand
margin fields (marginwidth and marginheight) to 0 (DMX and below).

Since you are still using inline margin specs in the body tag, this method
won't validate (and is not easy to do in DMX2004). To get completely valid
code that works for all
browsers in any version of DW, change your stylesheet as shown below -

body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0 -10px 0 -10px;
/*/*/margin: 0 0 0 0; /* */
}
