[thelist] [TIP] Solution: Zero body margin with CSS in NN4.x

[Jay Blanchard]

OK, so you must use the @import statement so that all browsers work with a 0
border if you include the negative number to compensate for NN's inadequacy,
right?

It puts the left and top edges of the body off the top left corner of the
screen. Try the code from the demo at
