Okay, I'm a contract web designer whos had this problem come up quite a few times. I've asked around other forums and no1 can help me. Hopefully someone here can cause im really starting to get the $#!7$... <br />
<br />
I have created a website for a client:<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youthjobs.com.au/opsweb/contact.htm">http://www.youthjobs.com.au/opsweb/contact.htm</a><!-- m --> <br />
<br />
and when the website loads, it doesnt seem to use 100% of the page width. ie it leaves a gap almost the same size as the scroll bar, down the entire right hand side of the page (i have also noticed it leaves a gap across the bottom of the page). Some browsers dont see it. Most the ones i test it on do (IE 6).<br />
<br />
If you dont understand what im saying, i've uploaded a screenshot of it here (60k):<br />

<br />
As you can see, the title image doesnt reach the scroll bar like it should.<br />
<br />
DOES ANYONE know how to fix this without having to refresh the each and everypage?<!--content-->Okay, dont worry.. I think i've figured it out.<br />
<br />
I never put rightmargin="0" or bottommargin="0" in the body. Are these new in IE6?<br />
<br />
<br />
I think thats fixed it. Ive seen this problem many times before(before IE6 was even out) and could never figure it out. I never knew right/bottom margins even existed. I thought they were defaulted to equal "0"?.. pffft man, ive been stressin over that for ages.<!--content-->Yes I think you solved it. Its always nice when you solve your own problems hunh? I think the default margins are set to either 1 or 2. BTW, that website is really good!<!--content-->Yeah feels good to solve your own problems. Sometimes though, when they are as simply/easy as that and it takes forever to figure out, it can really get to you.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<!--content-->Quick question : did you want the nav bar at the top to fit across the screen too??<!--content-->Originally posted by Gamblor <br />

no they are not new. they were there in IE5, but now they are deprecated and may not be in the next verison of the browser or css. you should use <br />
<br />
<style><br />
body {margin 0px,0px,0px,0px;}<br />
</style><br />
<br />
as that is the only thing that works, it also works in NS6 as well.<!--content-->
