I've had designs where we went right to the top and all the way to the left
without any white space and without having to resort to widths beyond what we
were developing for. We use table to handle that. Take a look at the graphic
at the top of http://www.ottawaweb.com/ (the site is still under construction)
The old version of SPORTQuest (http://www.sportquest.com ) had everything going
right to the edge. It's in the body tag, and you have to put in explorer
specific and netscape specific tags to get it and they are not supported in 3.
<body leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0 topmargin=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0>
