I have <topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"> in my page's <head> so that my top table will be right up in the corner. This works fine, but the bad thing is that all my text after the table is messed up as well. Can i add <topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"> to the table only, or is there a way to end this tag after the table?

You should use the style method for applying margins, I don't know even if the table tag accepts them. Define them inline - or class them:
...<table style="margin-top:0;margin-left:0"> ...
Using styles you can apply these sorts of things to any object on your page

Well, you know - sometimes it won't, if there is no space for it or something, you may have just to massage it into place a little. Just write a small test page, and you'll see it works. It does depend on what is around it.
You've also got padding at your disposal don't forget

Why not put it in the BODY tag?
That's how I used to do it before I discovered CSS. Works fine.
Or, you could use CSS like so:
Both work fine on my machine w/ IE4+

How about this bit of css:
table {position:absolute; top:0; left:0;}
works in both browsers. You can eve put negative values in top and left.
table {position:absolute; top:0; left:0;}
works in both browsers. You can eve put negative values in top and left.
keteion is right. just poistion the table absoultely that's all. but make sure it doesn't "bump" into other elements by positioning them approriately. ---

Absolute positioning is an annoyance these days when it comes to dynamic content, I suggest relative.
The man is asking if you can appply margins to the table only, and the way to do this is thru style. Obviously he doesn't want the whole body to have no margin - I thought his question was clear enough?

How about putting the margin attributes into the body tag like I was saying earlier, then putting the text (or anything else) that follows inside of <DIV> tags that have margin attributes that contradict the body's margins.
Here's what I did and I think it accomplishes what you're after. Table in the extreme upper left with text afterwards that has some left margin to it.
a style sheet like so:
Then in the HTML I have:

}Then in the HTML I have:
Code:
<TABLE...>
<TR>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<DIV CLASS="myText>
This would be the text that would follow the table. It would have a left margin of 50 pixels whereas the table would have no left margin and no top margin.
</DIV>Give it a shot. Kevin
