Jennifer. Setting padding and margin to 0 in 'body' will globally remove all padding and margins until you change the situation. That is, if you do nothing else to padding or margins, they will never appear. As soon as you define a class or id and change its padding and/or margin, that definition will be obeyed within that class or id. Anything outside those definitions, that is in the body only, will obey the definition for the body. i.e. No padding/no margin.
I hope this helps.

I do have a question though. I thought by setting the padding and margin to 0 in the body that it removed all margins through out the document. I am surmising from the fix you sent below that is not true. Can someone clear this up for me?
