If I could just cover my butt here... Patrick is correct! The info I posted below is the RECOMMENDATION from W3C, but as we all know, browsers interpret this stuff in their own way. So, it's always best to assume the worst and take off margins if that is what you require - this will fix the issue for all browsers.
There are many examples of this inconsistency including different browsers using margin or padding on the body element, and different browsers using margin or padding to indent lists. For this reason it is best to apply both rules to cover all browsers. EG. margin: 0; padding: 0; Did I cover myself :) Russ > Yes, there is a browser default margin applied to the HTML form element.
