Is there a Margins setting in CSS? 1

[Mike555]

Is there a setting I can apply to a CSS so that the 'page setup' of each web page has specified margins?

For example - If I want each web page to have left and right margins of .25.

Thanks.

If you're talking about PRINTER margins, then there's not clear-cut way to set printer margins using CSS - this is a user setting.

If, however, you're not talking about printer margins, you can do something like the following:

<style type="text/css" media="print">
    body {
        margin-left: 25px;
        margin-right: 25px;
    }
</style>

This will not add a margin to the content when you're viewing it on-screen, but will add a margin of 25px to the left and right when you're printing the page.

Whoops, that paragraph shouldn't be in the code block

That code belongs in the CSS correct? Thanks.

This should go in the head, yes:

CODE
<style type="text/css" media="print">
    body {
        margin-left: 25px;
        margin-right: 25px;
    }
</style>

cLFlaVA and mike... don't forget to protect you CSS from older browsers with a comment... And Mike you wanted .25px yes?

<style type="text/css" media="print">
<!--
    body {
        margin-left: .25px;
        margin-right: .25px;
    }
-->
</style>

.25px? A quarter of a pixel? That's going to work out as "no margin" - you can't, by definition, subdivide pixels.
