Hello,

I just had a new page developed for my site at: www.oilcareer.com/contact.php
However for some strange reason the code of:

<BODY BGCOLOR="black" RIGHTMARGIN="0" LEFTMARGIN="0" TOPMARGIN="0" BOTTOMMARGIN="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" MARGINWIDTH="0">

Is not being read which is causing white space to appear around the border and also a white line above where you see the phone number displayed. The template normally looks like this: www.oilcareer.com/contact.htm

Can anyone please go to: www.oilcareer.com/contact.php and do a "view source" and let me know why it's not reading that <body.... area? I couldn't seem to fix it.

Thanks. :eek:

assuming, you want no padding and margin on the border, use this:
<body bgcolor="#000000" style="margin:0; padding:0;">

Advice:
Don't use uppercase attributes, and tag names.

I expect the browser quit the body tag when it hit the first invalid attribute. It's better to use styles to do it, but if you wish to do it the way it's currently done, it should be:

marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0"


I hope that you didn't pay much for the development work:
