since you use class for forbody you no need to put body infront, used the class name

<body class="forbody"> - html

.forbody {
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  max-width: 100px;
  height:1150px;
}

or in certain cases you can also do like this if do not want external css or used class :

<body style="padding:0px;margin:0;max-width:100px;height:1150px;">

You don’t need the body part. The CSS should look like this:

.forbody {
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  max-width: 100px;
  height:1150px;
}

Hope this helps!

Remove the space between body and .forbody in the CSS. A space designates another element further down the tree. That is, body .forbody (with a space) will target children of a body element, with the class "forbody". Without the space, body.forbody will target body elements themselves, when they have the class "forbody".

Alternatively, if the class "forbody" will only be used for the body - or in other words, you do not need to discern between body.forbody and p.forbody for example - you can simply omit the "body" part altogether in the selector, leaving .forbody { ... }
