i have a gif which i intend to use as a paragraph seperator (its very wide, but only two pixels tall). nothing will ever need to line up with it horizontaly. i want it to butt up to the right of the page, but i am currently seeing a slight gap. here is thode code as it stands:

<p align=&quot;right&quot;><img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;../universal/break.gif&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; height=&quot;2&quot;></p>

how can i stop it from leaving space?

seanbo,

you probably need to adjust your page margins, as html pages, by default have a margin of about 8 pixels (?) all the way round...

<body rightmargin=&quot;0&quot;>

this should sort out the gif, but be aware that the margin applies to the whole page. so anything else on your page which is right aligned will also touch the edge.

hope this helps,

ss -

I was thinking the same thing but IE has topmargin and leftmargin while NA has marginwidth and marginheight. Since IE has no rightmargin, I didn't think your solution would work...

This will work regardless of browser...

<style>
body {margin: 0px; padding: 0px;}
</style>

i don't want to fiddle with my border, so i've got with the relative shift.

how can i decide how many pixels to move it though? i want to guarentee no gap, but want to avoid an overlap.
