  First of all, it is incorrect to use BODY to set the margins of
  a pages because the root canvas is HTML.
  Using BODY works in IE because it's a possible bug (imho).
  So, as Jonas suggested, try to use this:
  html, body { margin: 0px }

  Secondly, it'd be better if you have indicated the browser
  version you use.

  I doubt if there's a person who haven't tried to solve the issue.
  I was browsing thru the archives of this list for hours, but failed
  to find a solution. There were two types of suggestions:
  1. Use the HTML code which won't validate:
     <body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginwidth="0"
     marginheight="0">
  2. Forget about Netscape, because it's old, ugly, etc.

Best regards.
