Make a <div> fill the monitor

[Ben502]

this one is making me a little nuts and i am more than sure i am doing something way stupid...

i want a couple of divs on a page to fill the width of the page. i have tried not setting any width at all and setting the width to 100%. in both cases, i get close to filling the screen but on the left and right side there is a gap (i.e. the div does not go all the way to the edges of my screen)

what bone headed thing am i forgetting?

thanks yall!

WE could help you better if you post the HTML and CSS you are using.

body { margin:0; padding:0; }

?

Can't help there, keys have been known to morph into common everyday objects like saltshakers and knick knacks to elude the confines of the owner's pockets.
