Quarath Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Magna, UT Insane since: May 2000	posted 05-24-2002 05:22 OK this page is to be a template for some client stores using cafepress off my home site: http://www.finlinson.com/design/finstore.html The header across the top is set as a background in a table and I want it to go from edge to edge. I have tried using CSS and regular HTML and I have not been able to make it work. I am sure I have done this before but can't for the life of find what I am doing wrong here. I have removed page margins and padding and table margins and padding but some space always remains. Is it kosher to double post this in CSS forum as well in case there is a CSS solution or does that just iritate people?
