Hello all

I'd like to set up a master table behind my page, with room for a single-row header at the top, and another single column down the left. I'd like each of these to always grow/shrink with the browser. When the code below runs, you see a small break between the top row and the left column (i.e. the "red" is not contiguous), which I presume is a pixel or two set aside to separate table cells, regardless of the "no border"

Two questions
1) Any way to get rid of this break
2) Any generic way to eliminate the margin between this table and the top/left client area of the browser itself? I know there's margintop and marginleft in the body, but I believe these are IE-specific

<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0"><tr height="100" bgcolor="red"><td colspan="2">Header Stuff</td></tr><tr><td width="15" bgcolor="red"></td><td>Body Stuff</td></tr></table

Any thoughts on how to do this or something better are appreciated. I'm hoping not to have to do it with bg images

Thanks

Bil

I sure thought I had done cellspacing, but that's what it was. Thanks for the fast help
