<tip type="Zero body margins with CSS in Netscape 4.x" author="Mark
Howells">

To eliminate the need for invalid body attributes [leftmargin="0"
topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"] in HTML, the following CSS
produces the same effect in Netscape 4.

body {margin: -10px 0 0 -10px}

You can set the margins back to 0 again for other browsers by using
margin:0; in an @imported stylesheet (after the above declaration) for all
other CSS browsers.
