Hello everyone, Nigel,

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.
