I cannot remove the left margin from my web page even with margin: 0; and padding: 0;

Source code

<!DOCTYPE html>

<title>Lorem

© Lorem Ipsum

body {
background-image: url(http://www.designbolts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/White-Gradient-Squares-Seamless-Patterns-For-Website-Backgrounds.jpg);
}
footer {
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}

What I have tried:

padding: 0;
margin: 0;

Even with these two assigned it won't let me remove the left margin.

Solution 1

Try:

body {
  margin: 0;
}

because body has a default margin of 8px.
