How to start Web page at top left corner of screen

Factual Questions

This is probably a very basic question, but I’m at a loss at solving the problem.

I’d like my Web page to start as close to the top left corner of the monitor as possible. I’m using Dreamweaver 3.0 which as you can see from my page, starts with roughly a half-inch margin at the top and left sides.

I can’t figure out how to get rid of it. I’ve looked at other pages (like the Straight Dope Message Board front page) and tried various things with style sheets and the Page Properties. Nothing.

Any ideas? What am I missing?

Well, I would put everything in a table, and then use, um an align=left or maybe valign=top, I think those are the right commands.

Add “topmargin=0 leftmargin=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0” to the body tag. The boxes you have on top (image and nav) that are centered will still start a bit away from the left margin due to the centering, if you want them flush left remove the center tag.

A way that works for me:

Place your entire web page (everything between the body tags) into a layer, using the DIV tags. Now position that layer at the coordinates 0:0.

This is the corporate site I work on and is an example of using this positioning technique. www.moderngroup.com
