Ok, not sure what im doing wrong, but Im using a  in my index.asp code.

Within my header.asp file i have <body bgcolor="#000000" topmargin="0" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/nav%20buttons/Home%20Y.jpg','images/nav%20buttons/Biog%20Y.jpg','images/nav%20buttons/Album%20Y.jpg','images/nav%20buttons/News%20Y.jpg','images/nav%20buttons/Contact%20Y.jpg')">

above this is script for rollover images.

In my index.asp i also need to include a topmargin="0" so there are no gaps at all between the header.asp and index.asp design. but i cannot seem to do this as i already use a <body> in the header.asp. Is there any way around this problem

thanks

Is the problem that you're getting some unwanted space between your header and your main body text?

more info please ...... ;)

Bear in mind that ultimately only a single page is being served up. It is irrelevant how it is put together at the server.
Perhaps, you should run the page in IE and save it from there. You can then edit the saved page in a standard webpage editor to work out why there are gaps.

Yes, thats the problem! :)

Im using the body tag in my header, as it uses rollover and javascript. If i could put the <body bgcolor="#000000" topmargin="0" etc.. in my index.asp code, i think the problem would resolve its self. But then my navigation code in the header.asp would not work.

here part of the code:

header.asp

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
}

</script>
<body bgcolor="#000000" topmargin="0" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/nav%20buttons/Home%20Y.jpg','images/nav%20buttons/Biog%20Y.jpg','images/nav%20buttons/Album%20Y.jpg','images/nav%20buttons/News%20Y.jpg','images/nav%20buttons/Contact%20Y.jpg')">

Looks like you've just got it a bit mixed up. Cut 'n' paste the view code from your page to a text editor as shady said.

your stuff should run like this

<html>
<head>
<title>some page</title>
<script>Put your scripts external!</script>
<meta>blach
<meta>blan
</head>
<body deprecated_elements="blah">
<table>.......

Not the wat you have it ;)
