Layout Question

Your problem is that most browsers put a thin margin all around the edge of the page. You can get rid of it by placing:
marginwidth=0 leftmargin=0 marginheight=0 topmargin=0
in the body tag (or just zero the particular attributes you want zeroed). However be aware that this effects the ENTIRE page, so text will start right on the edge of the page (the first letter of every line will touch the frame of the browser). Since I have only ever used this when the page is one big table I get round it by having a margin round cells with text in them. I am guessing that if you are not using tables that there is some trick you can do with style sheets to avoid the text touching the edge, but I am not good at style sheets, so I'll have to let someone else offer a solution that way.
