So, I'm in this class were I'm learning HTML AGAIN, using Notepad!!! I did it in college and it's all very much the same so I'm not exactly having fun... I'm going waaaay ahead of the teacher, she is teaching about lists now... sigh, and I'm designing a table to be a templete for the my page

What I want to know is how do you make the margin of the page zero...

Just place these within the body tag:
leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"

One thing though when test time rolls around do it as the teacher would do it. Which may not necassarily be the best way, but I have a friend who took a similar course as an elective course and he does alot of HTML at work, but during test time he tried to improve upon the teachers methods and it cost him because it wasn't the way it was taught in class or something.

I stole some autogenerated code to do this. A div tag with a style attribute. Somthing along the lines of

code:
<div style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px;">

.

.

.

</div> 
[/QUOTE]Anything inside that div tag will appear starting at 0,0. (Yes, you can do weird things with this, like make text appear outside your own post ETC. DOnt bother doing it though.)

Probably repeating someone elses post but here is a site that explains about setting margins and other HTML stuff.
