Web table on the top left corner

Have you ever tried to put a table just after the <body> tag? (see code1) (That's the same for Domino or pure HTML). Viewing the page you will see a blank line before the table. That's annoying, especially if the table contains a navigation menu.

You can use pass-through html in pages, but it will give the same result. You can use "treat document/page content as HTML" property in form/pages, but then you will face others issues.

The solution I found snooping around is a very simple one:
using particulars BODY attributes.
leftmargin="0"
topmargin="0"
marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0"
I put the new attributes in the Domino "HTML Body attributes" section and now my table is positioned in the left and top corner.

See code2 .


Code 1:
<body >
<table border=1 >
<tr>
<td>r1c1</td><td>r1c2</td>
<tr>
<td>r2c1</td><td>r2c2</td>
</table>


Code2:
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<table border=1 >
<tr>
<td>r1c1</td><td>r1c2</td>
<tr>
<td>r2c1</td><td>r2c2</td>
</table>
