Hi Again

The image I am usining has a width of 780 I have set the margin width to 0 however a small gap appears to the right of image (causing srolling)

here is a link to the page
<sorry, no personal URLs>

horizontal scroll bar appears when it is typed in the address line in Internet explorer 6.0 on 800 x 600 res.

I'm not sure why. any suggestions.

Kind Regards

Walker

THANX

I have now removed the and don't seem to get the scrolling.
Please if anyone has a moment could they check to confirm no horizontal scrolling on 800 x 600

<sorry, no personal URLs>

Out of interest why would the add extra space on end

Kind Regards

I checked again at at 800x600 on my 19" monitor I still get a horizontal scroll bar, same with the 15" and the 17". On the 21" at 800x600 I go blind but I don't see the scroll bar. :) <added>Using IE6.</added>

17" 800 x 600 IE5.0 - no horizontal scroll bar

but I didn't have one before you made the change either :)

Opera is fine as well.

Won't try NN - my copy is a bit flakey at the moment.

No clue, sometimes removing them helps, sometimes not. Maybe you just had an extra space behind the .

And BTW no more scroll for me.

Okay, since I still see the scroll bar at 800x600 what dot pitch do you guys have? I'm at .25 or horizontal .20 the 19.

Try <body style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Just a shot.
<added>no scrollbar over here</added>

If you don't have the manual handy ;) you can search for your monitor brand and size and look up the specs on Google.

<point>Walker noted that he got rid of the horizontal scroll on his monitor, but if I can still see the horizontal scroll bar then other folks will as well and isn't the point to make sure that NO ONE gets a nasssty horizontal scroll bar?</point>

Manual? Yes, I've heard about that loooong time ago ;).

Seems my dot pitch is .24.
