Width=100%???

[Facecat]

Howdy.

There's something about HTML I've never understood. That is, whenever I make a site that is essentially a 100% width table that sits right on top of the BODY, IE will display it right when I open it but if I follow a link to the same page, it will display it differenty. If my words aren't clear please take a look at this example I made.

The link in the middle links the page to itself. Using IE and having followed this link, it probably doesn't scale to 100% - there's extra space on the right hand side. Hit refresh, however, and it sizes to normal. Click on the link in the centre, and its broken again.

If anyone knows how to fix this or even just why it does that, please let me know. Additionally, if you know a way of taking out scrollbars from any page without mucking around with frames, I'd like to know that as well.

Thanks!

how about a closing body tag?

I thought in HTML you could only specify margin="0" not a specific side. You'll have to use CSS in the < head> do what you want:

body { margin-top: 0px;
margin-left: 0px; }

You can add margin dimensions to the other sides as needed.

Yeah, it was margin-right:0px, thanks earther. Still not sure why it does that though.
