    Those margins arent supported for html4.

    Use CSS instead to define the margins - not sure if it works in netscape 4 tho

    Don't use any body tags

    <style type="text/css">
    body
    {
    margin:0;
    background-image: url;
    background-color:#ffffff;
    }
    a
    {
    color:#003366;
    }
    a:link
    {
    color:#660066;
    }
    <style>

    That should validate fine...

    You mean to use only the <body> tag. If there was no <body> tag, your page surely wouldn't validate.
