Valid/Invalid Body attributes

ronfalcon · Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2005 8:18 pm Valid/Invalid Body attributes

In trying to learn HTML I manually coded most of the web pages on my site. In the BODY tag, I used the attributes such as TOPMARGIN="0" RIGHTMARGIN="0" and so forth in order to have my banner flush with the page margins.

Unfortunately, when I just ran my home page through the W3C Markup Validation Service it told me that "there is no attribute "TOPMARGIN" and the same for LEFTMARGIN, RIGHTMARGIN and others.

The checker found several other errors on the page which I reviewed, understand and will correct but the error with the BODY tag has me confused.

Am I missing something here?

If you want to review the full source code, the web page is located at http://www.falconberry.com

I would appreciate any input. Thanks,

Ron.

You need to use CSS to define the body margins
