Widths and wrapping in browsers

Hi all,<br />
<br />
It is probably an old issue, but I couldn't find it on Webmonkey and Slacker and other places, so here goes:<br />
<br />
I need to use percents in the width specifier in some image tags, so that I can scale properly. However, 100% seems to be too much for a page width. I have tried with a single picture, saying 100%, where Mozilla 1.3 is OK, but IE 6.0.something comes up with a scrollbar. Both under WinXP. Once I get down to 90% width, there is no problem, but the scollbar starts with IE in the 90s somewhere. Depends a bit on the specific browser window size.<br />
<br />
I have tried a similar thing with several pictures without breaks between them, and added the widths up to 100%. Mozilla has a slight problem, and IE has a big problem in insisting on wrapping the last image onto a new line. For IE the total must be significantly below 100% before it stops wrapping.<br />
<br />
Can someone tell me where to find the details about wrapping and widths in different browsers, please. Preferably using plain HTML.<!--content-->try doing <body style="margin: 0;"><br />
i dont know if that will work, but it might, because of the default margin IE puts in<!--content-->Erpphh, nope.<br />
<br />
Doesn't work. Not with marginwidth or marginheight either.<br />
<br />
Thanx anyway.<!--content-->stick them in a table. when you specifiy a width in percentage in image tag you are really strecthing tha timage and pixelizing it. it looks awful.<br />
<br />
do you have a test page you are testing? I don't see what the problem is.<!--content-->
