Using html

<body topmargin="0" bottommargin="0">

Using CSS:

body{
margin-top:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
}

By default your browser will apply margin/padding to 'body' and 'div' elements. In your css you can add:

body, div {margin: 0; padding: 0}

You could also include images, paragraphs, or any other elements you want to "reset"

main.div
{
top:0px;

bottom:0px;

}
