For NN's minimum body margin, "N/A" means that the body margin is fixed and
can not be changed (ugh!).
Microsoft introduced adjustable margins in IE3. To set the body margins in
IE3 (or greater), use the LEFTMARGIN and RIGHTMARGIN attributes of the BODY
tag; note that IE also provides RIGHTMARGIN and BOTTOMMARGIN attributes,
although these are rarely used. To set the margins of frame windows in the
frameset definition, use the MARGINWIDTH and MARGINHEIGHT attributes. IE
allows you to set your all margins down to zero in both the body and the
frameset.
Netscape started supporting adjustable margins in NN4, but chose not to
support Microsoft's BODY attributes. To set the body margins in NN4, use
the MARGINWIDTH and MARGINHEIGHT attributes; they can be set down to zero.
However, even in NN4, the frameset margins can only be set down to 1,1.
This "feature" can be overcome by setting the BODY tag MARGINWIDTH and
MARGINHEIGHT attributes in the frameset-loaded page to zero; this will
override any margin settings in the frameset definition. |
