Hi
Some help please. I have a table set to width="100%" height="100%" but there is still a slight gap between the table edge and the edge of the screen. I want the table to push right up to all four edges of the screen, any suggestions?

Hi Edspace,

Try:
<body ....marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 leftmargin=0 topmargin=0>

Hi,

We always have suggestions around here, not saying any of them work (lol), to set your margin widths to near zero you can use the marginwidth="argument" attribute within the body tag. The proper argument for this attribute is a number of pixels, you can NOT use zero, the value must be greater than one pixel. But at 2 pixel who is gonna notice.

Use <body marginwidth="argument">
Argument=#of pixels (nuber must be greater than 1)

Hope this Helps

Hi Vinny,

My comment about not using zero was not aimed at your post, only my own, and as is, it is I that must stand corrected. The marginheight & marginwidth tag will not achieve true zero margins, I use them because at the resolution of today's monitors a 2 pixel difference is unnoticeable. To get true zero you would have to use;

<body margintop="" marginbottom="" marginleft="" marginright=""> no argument is required to set margin to zero if done this way.
I rarely use this string because the default for most agents is already "0" top & bottom, so most time I just use marginwidth="2". Anyway one of the three ways should solve the problem..

Later :o
