Margin top difference between IE and Firefox

Asked by adiemeer in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Internet Explorer Web Browser, Firefox Web Browser

Tags: margin css

hello,

consider the code below. It seems that the behaviour in FireFox differs from the behaviour in IE7. In FireFox a scrollbar appears due to the margin-top of 10px of the .webpage. I would expect to have the behaviour as in IE7, where no scrollbar appears, and the green part has a margin-top of 10px.
It looks like that in Firefox also for the BODY gets a margin-top.
Why do we have this difference, and how can I get the same behaviour in FF and IE?Start Free Trial
