BODY
as a child of HTML
- 4If you have any comments to make regarding this test, e-mail ian@hixie.ch.
BODY
is but a block level container...Make your window big. The teal background (the
BODY
) should extend all the way to the end of the footer,
but no further. The lower end of this page should be
green. Otherwise, the BODY
is being stretched to fit
the root element, which is wrong.
You should check that this is consistent even after resizing the window (if you can do that) or after refreshing the page, or after momentarily covering the browser window. Opera 3.51 does this test half-correct on the initial draw, but after reflowing reverts to invalid behaviour.
Bugzilla: Bug 3543 (margin-bottom application problem) and Bug 1583 (analogous problem for margin-top).

NOTE! There should be exactly 8
pixels between the bottom border of this paragraph and the bottom
border of the BODY
element. The bottom border of this
paragraph should also be 8 pixels high.
