lo all
my problem is pretty simple, firefox doesn’t seem to like topmargin and leftmargin attributes in that it ignores them
\
renders as it should in IE but the margins are still present in Firefox
anyone got a work around?
cheers :love:

all the \*margin body attributes are proprietrary and not in the standards.
The correct way to do it is this:
```php
```
