Table elements have "built-in" margins and padding. I can't think how to fix it right now.. I have been coding servlets since about 9:00, and I can no longer think straight. I'll take a peek at it again in the morning when I am a little more clear headed.
EDIT: I should say built in padding.. tables do not have margins. -------------------- |

For the width, specifying "100%" rather than a fixed width should work. It's especially useful for when people have different screen resolutions from the fixed width you specified.
For the top ... hmmmmm. I don't think I've ever had a problem with that. I haven't coded in over a year, and I can't recall if tables will accept a valign="top" code, but it's worth a try until you get a definitive reply from groovicus or someone else with more recent experience. One thing you might want to do is get rid of all the stuff in there that Geocities says to delete. I doubt it'll have any impact on the table, but it's good coding practice not to have bloated HTML. Hope this helps a bit. -------------------- |

Try adding this to the <head> section:
HTML <style type="text/css">
<!-- body { margin-top: 0px; } --> </style> -------------------- root@bleepingcomputer>./sig_file

This works. I just tried it. Change this line:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="1024" height="543"> to this: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="1024" height="543" Style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px;"> It works in Firefox, and it should work in IE. I am on a Linux system at the moment, so I couldn't test it on there. -------------------- |

groovicus, you get the golden cookie!!! Your solution worked. Thank you for the code.
Amazing Andrew, I also tried your fix and it worked a little  It did bring the page to the top, but the left margin didn't work. Dialer, valign didn't work. I appreciate the help guys. The web page comes from a template in Frontpage I am playing with. Maybe one day it will become something worthy of the web.
