Is there any way to force a picture up against the edge of the browser window the same way it does when you place it as a backround image.

I need to make two halves of the same image in two different frames push up against each other so thet they look like one image. Ordinarily I would just place them as the background but in this case i would like to have them resize to 100% when the user changes resolution.

I realize this may be more of a HTML problem than a javasript problem, but if there's a HTML solution I haven't found it.

Please help me

What i am trying to do is create a large circular backround image that is resizeable to all resolutions but keeping the text in the center of the circle.

I have seen it done before on a site that is now defunct so I know it is possible.

Using CSS:

<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; left:0; top:0">

</DIV>

Unfortunately CSS isn't backwards compatible. Neither is this, but it's more backwards compatible than CSS. URL

Remove the margins left and top in your BODY tag like this:

<BODY marginwidth=0 leftmargin=0 marginheight=0 topmargin=0>

You HAVE to use both "width" and "left" and "height" and "top", because going back to 3 browsers they used different tags to do different jobs (I think we know who to blame).

You can use the same attributes in FRAME tags, but it's best to put them in both just in case.

Cheers,

Thanx Adam, I think you're suggestion might do the trick.

Scollo. You're suggestion might also work but I am almost competely ignorant of CSS. Is there anyplace I can find a simple no fuss tutorial for begginers on the web?
