margin problems with Opera.

[akshay]

Eventhough I specify in my stylesheet to have 0px margin for the Body, Opera it still displays the default margins.

At present I use the marginheight & marginwith (in the body tag) to get rid of the margin.

Do you know of any other standards complaint way to get rid of the margin.

thanks

Opera (for some silly reason) believes that the W3C recommended method for setting and removing margins on a page is wrong.

The bods at Opera thought it would be better to use:

body {
padding: 0;
}

So basically, to cover all compliant browsers *and* Opera:

body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

If you ever want a non-indenting list, the same problem happens (cross-browser compatibility). IE and Opera use margin to indent the list, while Gecko-based browsers use padding.
