This is very useful, being set out as a complete article.
I was already using the
<BODY TOPMARGIN=0 LEFTMARGIN=0
MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>
method, but this article makes it all much clearer.

I have one question: the above works in my IE5 browser, so why would the
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
BODY {margin: 0pt}
</STYLE>
method be needed at all?

I spent two hours utill I found the way to remove margins in Netscape.

Too bad I haven't seen this article before.

Thanks

Its true this MOSTLY works. However netscape still leaves a blank space on the right side for a scrollbar if a scrollbar is not needed.

This can be compensated for by adding a div and placing it below the visable area of the browser window. This forces a scrollbar to allways display.

This (hack) solution has issues because of the netscape resize bug.

Does anyone have a better answer?
