HTML Body vAlign problem

kafmil · Mar 13, 2007

I have a simple web page and I am sure there is a simple answer to this question. I know I have solved this before but haven't used HTML in quite a while.
The main table in my page, immediately after the body tag does not align completely in the left and at the top. the page does not always fill the entire vertical height and then the page moves down the available window space. I want the top left corner of the main table to remain at the top left corner of the page. Can anyone help.

Thanks.

Just placing a table on a page would do exactly what you want.

You may need to remove padding from the body element to get right into the top left corner.

Do you have any code we can see to work out what you are doing?

The body and top table are as follows:

<body valign="top" align="left">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left" valign="top" height="95%">

What else do I need to do?

1. You could run your site through the validator to see which attributes that you're using are obsolete or downright do not belong to the tag they're used for.
2. You should remove the gutters by adding [tt]style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"[/tt] in your body tag.
