I've seen websites that have the background go across the whole page,
without any margins. How can I do that? There is always a space when I try
to insert images.
here's an example of what I'd like to do:

Thanks for your help.
 
Show me what you have tried to do.

Page backgrounds always start at 0,0 and tile all the way across and down.
Perhaps you are talking about table backgrounds?
 
When I design a site there is always space around the top and sides
regardless, even if it is set at 100% in the tables. I've seen sites that
look like they are the background and go across the whole page from side to
side without a space. How did they do that? here is a site that is what
I'm talking about:
http://www.showcasefarms.com/
 
Since I couldn't get the look I wanted, I quit trying and just started
putting my sites into tables. Here is an older site that you can see the
white space around the background. I see several sites that look like the
pictures go across the whole page with no white space showing at all.
Please disregard the music on this site. It will drive you nuts!!
here is an older site of mine.http://www.circlebminiaturehorseranch.com/
 
Set all your Page Margins to 0
Right click for Page Properties Advanced
(if not available set Tools Page Options Authoring - browser/schema to IE5)

Set the margins for the page to 0. Use CSS in the <head> section

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

This will remove the white space from top and left (and also right and
bottom, though that may not be noticeable.)
