Ok, I make my websites on geocities and I'm having a problem with the spacing. When I load the builder, I place an image all the way in the top left corner. But when I view the page out of the builder there is a space. Is there anyway that I can get that spacing to go away?

To see what I mean, please visit www.geocities.com/ptwwrestling1/main

-As you can see the the two boxes don't touch the end of the window like I wanted. When I open the builder it is touching-

What do I do? Thanks, EJames.

Hi, Ejames,
when you're using CSS to position things by setting values you must also specify what units. Like em, in, px, pt, etc.
This: "left:200;top:100;" doesn't work.
This: "left:200px;top:100px;" does.

Thanks for the reply MCOOKIE, but I don't understand. Where do I place that code?

The 0px thinfg goes in the "style" tags

That is part of the problem.

Include in the body tag leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" (Only IE, Mozilla though)

Also, the style tags were set at 8. This seemed to cause a prob.

Here is the complete code..

****************************
<html>
<head>
<title>main.page</title>
<script>

/*JavaScript error stopper-

function stoperror(){
return true
}
window.onerror=stoperror

<body bgcolor="#000000" link="#0000FF" vlink="#FF0000" text="#000000" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0"
onLoad="window.onresize=new Function('if (navigator.appVersion==\'Netscape\') history.go(0);');">
<div id="root" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;width:745px;height:447px">
<div style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;width:725;height:427;">
<table width=725 height=427 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr valign="top">

</tr></table></div>
<div style="position:absolute;left:213;top:141;width:463;height:30;">
<table width=463 height=30 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr valign="top">
<td align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="-1"><span style="font-size:12">Advertise with PTW today! Click here and get the exposure you've always wanted!</span></font></td>
</tr></table></div>
<div style="position:absolute;left:24;top:132;width:132;height:26;">
<table width=132 height=26 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr valign="top">
<td align="center"><b><font color="#FFFFFF" size="-1"><span style="font-size:12">PTW NAVAGATION</span></font></b></td>
</tr></table></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
