silence Maniac (V) Inmate From: soon to be "the land down under" Insane since: Jan 2001	posted 05-10-2001 07:33 Okay, I have the following interface: main_interface.gif Each enclosed block needs to contain a separate element. I tried to do this with frames, but it won't put an image in the upperleft corner. There is always a space. This is what I've gotten: http://students.seattleu.edu/alo/new/index.html So how do I get it to look the way I want? [This message has been edited by silence (edited 05-10-2001).]

first of all, i would say for you to fully question why you feel that frames are the best option here.
then i would direct you to this page, simply cause i know it does what you want to achieve with frames.
sorry, that's the best i can do!

what does marginwidth and marginheight do? If the margintop, marginbottom, etc. are already set to 0, do you still need them?

MARGINWIDTH & MARGINHEIGHT parameters are for Netscape and since it doesn't understad IE params (LEFTMARGIN, etc.) the answer is: Yes, you need them.
