webpage 100% width weird problem

I designed this site to be 100% width, its actually php generated templates that i developed. But now for some reason when i first visit the site theres seems to be a 10 pixel border on the right and bottom,

BUT...if i hit refresh it fits like it is supposed to...anyone know why it could be doing this? Thanks.

I have no problems viewing the page. It stretched to 100% width right from the first moment I viewed it.

are you using internet explorer or netscape?

if you are using IE, is it version 6?

I am using IE 6 to view it.

I'm using IE 5.5 and it looks fine

Netscape will always leave space for the scrollbar whether it is needed or not

Just as swimm, I used IE 5.5 to view the page.

I am using Internet Explorer 5.5 as well and it looks fine

I can't imagine IE6 has a incompatibility extra, it's probably a caching problem.

dkode, I've had this _SAME_EXACT_ problem before and could not resolve it. I was using IE5.5 and Netscape 4.72 at the time.. they both did that. I'll be very interested to know if there's a way to resolve this.

very strange...I've never seen that before until i created these sites.

I think it might be a problem with setting marginwidth and marginheight

I'm not sure...if anyone knows whats up can they please let me know? thanks.

Are you using Windows 2k and IE 5.5 ? I am not sure if 6.0 does it or not. I ran into the same problem it's when you first view the page. So just add this code to the body tag.

Code:

<body ....... bottommargin="0" rightmargin="0">

that should fix it.

wow, thanks a million man, that works perfectly. I think that is a new bug in IE 6 or something...I don't know. I've been looking for a way to fix that for a month now. Thanks again!

Could you also use style sheets to set your left, right, and top margins? Just an afterthought...
