I want to open an image ( W 640 H 480) in a new window. I made a 640X480 window, set topmargin/leftmargin to 0 but I' m still getting a margin on the right and at the bottom. I'm really stuck here, I would like the image to fit EXACTLY in the window. Is there any HTML/CSS/Javascript trick to get rid of the margins?
Any help appreciated, thanx.

RAMshackle: Welcome. Its not got full crossbrowser support (i.e. it doesn't work in older browsers) but try the CSS:

code:
body {
margin: 0px;
}



It depends on the circumstances but try and avoid things like TOPMARGIN/LEFTMARGIN - they are even less cross browser and are 2 of the 4 Horsemen of Non-Validation:

Margins to zero like Emps says and try opening your window with these options:

toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,width=800,height=600

You should be able to get a popup almost exactly the size of your image.

...and the old fashioned way:

<BODY LEFTMARGIN="0" RIGHTMARGIN="0" TOPMARGIN="0" BOTTOMMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0"> </BODY>

Thanx guys, I was finally able to solve the problem. I took several attempts to get it right anyway. I'm using a Mac and couldn't get it to work. Later I tested on my old crappy PC and it was OK. It's not the first time it happens. Don't want to start the empth Mac/Win debate here, you've seen it all before, but I think while Macs are great for graphics/audio/video, when code/browser compatibility are concerned they suck a little bit...
