If I add the following to <body> I can align my page to occupy the full screen in IE, Netscape, Opera and Firefox - - leftmargin="0" topmargin="0 " rightmargin="0"

However

If I add the following in CSS it does not work.
html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

What am I missing?

Thanks JJ

you must use px

html, body { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }

I think anyway.

just tested and works fine with or without px :
(IE and firefox)
code used :

<style>

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

</style>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>

numbenator - Thanks for your response

Sorry - - I wasn't clear in my first question.

You are correct - - the code works correctly if used inline as you posted in your reply, however it does not work in an external stylesheet that is called in a link statement.

Any additional assistance would be appreciated.

JohnJ, the code numbenator posted should work inline or with a linked style sheet? Perhaps it's a caching issue that's making it appear not to. Try dumping your browser cache or add a ?qwert to the end of your URL to force a full refresh.

Example: www.YourDomain.com/page.html?qwert
