Well, I am trying to make my site valid HTML 4.01 Transitional. So, I need to remove the topmargin="0" and leftmargin="0" attributes from the BODY tag. So, I need to do it in CSS. I'm just a rookie CSS, but I think that this code should work:



However, that doesn't work for some reason. I've tried the code in a plain document, and it worked there. But why doesn't it work on my site?

My site is http://www.global-rs.com if you want to check out. (I know I have been an idiot using ID instead of CLASS, lots of work to do now)

I think I fixed it. But I still don't know what the problem was.

I have another question. I am using this code in the HTML:

And this is the CSS:


However, I want to have class instead of ID in the HTML:


How can I change the CSS so it will work?

And this is the CSS:


just chage your (#) to (.)

Add to write your CSS more concisely:

Maybe you reset your cache/internet temporary files?
When developing a site and altering things, sometimes your browser picks up info from the local cache rather than the newly editted file, so empty your Internet History or cache frequently to force the browser to review the changes you have made.
There is a Meta tag which 'expires' your page. (sorry that I can't find the exact description on short notice) which is helpful in these situations. It forces the browser to reload a new page every time you request the page and the latest modifications are shown.

Perhaps someone will come along and explain it better, and I wish I could find a version to post here for you.

I think the second question has been answered, but for the first one:

Try removing the "px" from you rule and add !important to this (some times, some browsers wont apply a rule, but as soon as you add this, its starts working, its like a cheat code to fool browsers or something hehe, Tim Berners Lee received this from the hand of God himself and the w3c got it into their css standars).

So the code you have will be like this:

CSS


I also added a semicolon in the end (which is not strictly necesary if you dont have any thing else in the same rule). You never know, all this is not suposed to be necesary but check this out tosee if it worx...

I notice that you enjoy posting corrections, but not actually helping with problems. There is a forum which discusses this very same phenomenon.
A matter of being polite.

If you don't want to read the whole thing, just read this:

And I notice that you quite often get things wrong which need correcting. In this instance, it wasn't even a correction, merely a suggestion as to how to do things better. And your point might have more validity if we weren't talking about something whose very basis is technical.
I post a lot on other forums where technical preciseness is the norm and not something where it's considered 'unimportant'. So when posting on subjects of this nature, I apply the same level of specificity across all boards.
I can't help it if you don't have the same rigorous standards or the knowledge to match it.
