opera and margin

[Linda]

I was wondering if someone could explain if Opera does not recognise margin
0pt in style sheets? As I seem to have a slight problem with it.

My partner has a Funeral Directors Business, and the site is mainly used by
clients who live abroad or in another part of the country to arrange the
funeral of their loved one before they come back to Cornwall.

I have tested the site in IE, Firefox, Netscape and Opera, and it appears it
is only Opera that leaves this 2 or 3 mill around the edge. It's not a
major problem, but If there is anyone that could come up with any solutions
I would be grateful.

Here is the address:

Many thanks in advance, and have a good day.

It does, but browsers can also use default padding on the body element,
Opera does this. Set both the margin and the padding on the body element
to get a similar result to other browsers.

By that I am supposing you mean in the actual html doc as to the css, is
that right?

That's great, many thanks for that Spartanicus. It works a treat, have a
great day.

No, in the style sheet. Just make the selector match the body element of the
document.

Thank you David, lol... I realised this shortly after writing emails.

Have a great Sunday,
