Tables - Expanding Hortizontally??? 2

jrome007 · May 6, 2004

Hey Everyone,

I’m trying to create a web page using a table, however I can’t get the table to appear 100% horizontally across the screen, like I’ve seen on other sites (I know they use tables because I’ve viewed their source file. Here is an example of the simple table.

Thanks,

Try <body style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">...

or:
<body topmargin=0 leftmargin=0>

I suppose you have small margins on all the sides of the table. You can solve that by removing the padding and margin from the body:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
 body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
 }
</style>

Add this inside the <head> of the document or put it inline:

Code:

<body style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">
