How to Margin the Body of the Page (Html)

How to margin the body of the page (html)?

For start you can use:

<body style="margin:0;padding:0">

Once you study a bit about css, you can change it to:

body {margin:0;padding:0}

in your stylesheet.

Removing body margin in CSS

I would say that using:

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

is a bad way of solving this.

The reason for the h1 margin popping out of the parent is that the parent does not have a padding.

If you add a padding to the parent element of the h1, the margin will be inside the parent.

Resetting all paddings and margins to 0 can cause a lot of side effects. Then it's better to remove margin-top for this specific headline.

HTML body has margin to the right

I'm not finding the culprit immediately after checking your codepen, but a quick and dirty way to hide any side to side scrolling is by using

 body {
  overflow-x: hidden;
}

How wide is the default ` body ` margin?

In most major browsers, the default margin is 8px on all sides. It is defined in pixels by the user-agent-stylesheet your browser provides.

Some browsers allow you to create and use your own user-agent-stylesheet, but if you are developing a website, I would recommend staying away from changing this, since your users most likely will not have a modified stylesheet and would then see a different page than you do.

If you want to change it, you can just do this:

body {
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
  ...
}

But if you have a large project and want to be more complete, use normalize.css. It resets a lot of default values to be consistent across browsers.

HTML - inserting a margin to body text

The basic syntax of an HTML page is

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration defines this document to be HTML5

The <html> element is the root element of an HTML page

The <head> element contains meta information about the document

The <title> element specifies a title for the document

The <body> element contains the visible page content

There is only one body for HTML.
So use div, span, p tags within the body for wrapping your content.

<body style="margin:20"> is bad code

Try <body style="margin:20px"> or <body style="margin:1%">

body {

  margin: 20px;

}
