RAMshackle Nervous Wreck (II) Inmate From: Italy Insane since: Mar 2002	posted 03-27-2002 23:11 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.

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...

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;

}

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.
