In a scenerio like this: <body id=page_one style=margin:100><object id=object_one name=object_one data="test.htm" width="500" height="500"></object></body> How do I set the body margin from test.htm to 50? I thought your step would work, but I am unsure how to call this. Thank you so much, Jenn |

Using the object element to include one file in another doesn't work very well across browsers. Read this for better ways to do the same thing, which should make your little problem go away: http://allmyfaqs.net/faq.pl?Include_one_file_in_another Also there is a bit on that page about the issues with using object. |

You don't need to id the body element (-and probably shouldn't): document.body.style.margin="50px"; Also, with css styles, units must be included: <body style="margin:100px;"> -- Neredbojias Infinity has its limits. |

> <body id=page_one style=margin:100> In CSS you *must* specify units (except for '0', because 0px is the same as 0mm which is the same as 0%). That is, use '100px', not just '100'. (The only property where units are optional is 'line-height'.) -- Toby A Inkster BSc (Hons) ARCS Contact Me ~ http://tobyinkster.co.uk/contact |
