Hello Y'all,

I am having problems understandiing the "fundamental" placement of tables.

Why does my client's graphic header start 1/8th of an inch to the right of the left margin and approximately 3/16ths of an inch from the top? (I am using IE6. Firefox shows 1/8X1/8")

Check it out here:

Is that just "the way it is" or is there a way to shorten those two measurements up?

I use Dreamweaver and some knowledge of hand-coding, but I am still largely a neophyte!

Thanks!

Consider using CSS in the <head> to control the margins:
Code:

<style type="text/css">
body
{margin: 0 0 0 0}
</style>

Thank you, thank you!

It works great Wink

I knew there was a reason I should be learning CSS!

Interesting that the first Zero controls the top margin and the last controls the left margin. Makes no sense to me!

(But who am I to question the great masters of CSS!) Laughing

Well there is an HTML tag but I do not recommend it.

For the CSS, think that it starts at the top and goes clockwise.

Now that does make sense!


Thanks again! Mr. Green
