Flush image to browser edge?

G

Guest

I'm trying to get an image to start exactly at the upper left corner of the
browser window, no space between top of image and top of page, no space
between left of image and left of page.

A lot of sites do this, but everything I've tried (tables, setting picture
borders to 0, padding, etc ) has no effect.

What's the secret?

Thanks,
Ed

Set topmargin and leftmargin to 0 ( zero ) in page properties, or by using css.

Link to an external stylesheet, or embed a stylesheet in your code (between
<head> and </head>) with the following style in it (embedded shown for
cut-n-paste convenience) (assuming you want zero margins) -

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;
padding:0; }
-->
</style>
(when the value is zero, units are not required)

you could also try

body { margin : 0 0 0 0; padding:0; }

or

body { margin : 0; padding:0; }

as a shorthand method.

This will take care of the margins in IE4+ and NN6. To take care of NN4x,
you will need to use Page Properties... and set the two right hand margin
fields (marginwidth and marginheight) to 0.

Since you are still using inline margin specs in the body tag, this method
won't validate. To get completely valid code that works for all
browsers, change your stylesheet as shown below -

body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0 -10px 0 -10px;
/*/*/margin: 0 0 0 0; /* */
}

I put a style for body with the values you all provided in the page and it
works beautifully, thanks! I'll move it to a CSS when I get further along
with the page.

What are the default page borders, anyway? And, is there any way to just
affect the image with the setting without doing the whole page?

One other point and maybe the source of my confustion --

I made the change successfully by adding a style. However, Steve in first
post above says set topmargin to 0 , etc in page properties, which is the
same instruction that FrontPage help gives (yes, I DO read the help file!)

When I go to page properties for any page there is no Margin tab. The only
tabs are for General, Background, Custom, Language, and Workgroup.

I'm using FP2000.
Huh?

The margin tab is hidden when you apply a theme.
