ie has a border on the edges of the screen

infinitizon · Sep 28, 2011

Hi all,

I'm working on a site that requires that I remove the scroll bars, margin and padding from the page.

I did this:

body,html
{
overflow: hidden; width:100%;
border:0; padding:0; margin:0;
}

However, I noticed that the page/screen removed the scroll bars but still has a funny looking border on the edge of the screen which does not give me the final feel I want in IE.

What can I do?

Give an example (the link to the site, perhaps)

I'm sorry but it is an intranet site; not on the internet...and I dont know how to upload a file here - else I could have given a screen-shot

Use an image sharing site like photobucket, and just paste the image link here surrounded by an img tag.

But the thing is this, on a fresh page, when you do

body,html {
overflow: hidden; width:100%;
border:0; padding:0; margin:0;
}

you ought to get a page with no padding, no margin, no scroll bars and no border.
Now, padding is removed, margin is removed, scroll bars are removed, but you get a border around the page.
I've been trying to remove it without success

We still need to see what you are seeing. What the border looks like exactly.
Also the rest of your code would be helpful, as can't seem to reproduce the problem with just the provided code.

What doctype if any are you using?

What version of IE?

does the page have a DOCTYPE? An absence of a DOCTYPE will cause pages to be rendered unexpectedly.

Attached is the screenshot. I'm using IE8 and it shows up thesame way in ie6 to ie9. you may need to download it first to see it properly.

I'm actually using a master page in vb.net

I have a doctype thus
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

here' the master page:

Code:

<%@ Master Language="VB" CodeFile="MasterPage.master.vb" Inherits="admin_MasterPage" %>

Might it be the padding of the video toolbar?

Well, I could have guessed thesame but for the fact that it shows up on all other systems. Everything is well with firefox, chrome, and other standard browsers.
The challenge I'm having is that IE is the company standard!

Have a look at the document as it is seen by the browser (view content). It looks as if you may be sending something to the browser before the Doctype, which should be absolutely the first thing the browser sees. Check this article

Actually pre-server .net code is of absolutely no use when debugging visual issues, neither are pictures.

A URI to the page is what is required.

Sorry ChrisHirst, but the site is an intranet site and not on the internet.
johnwm: when working with ASP.Net master pages, the <%Master....> tag appears before the doctype, but is not rendered at the final output to the browser. it is only for the server side engine to consume.
