Hi, I can't get my background to touch the edge of the windows. Can someone explain why?css:

body {background: #000000;min-width: 940px;font: 12px georgia;color: #656565;align: center;}#all {align: left;}#banner {background: URL(images/head.jpg) no-repeat left center;border-right: 1px dotted #575757;width: 940px;height: 211px;float: left;z-index: 1;}#left {background: URL(images/headtop.jpg) repeat-x top left;height: 211px;width: 50%;padding-right: 470px;margin-left: 0px;margin-right: -940px;float: left;z-index: 2;}#right {background: URL(images/headbot.jpg) repeat-x bottom left;height: 211px;width: 50%;padding-left: 470px;margin-left: -941px;float: left;z-index: 3;}

Hi eerabbitTry

* {	margin: 0px;	padding: 0px;}html, body {   height: 100%;   width: 100%;}

Some browsers have default values for the margins on a page.Enthusiastic

Hi eerabbit !You Should Add This in Body at CSSBody{margin-top:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}* * Aara * *

* {	 margin: 0px;	 padding: 0px; }

This is a good idea. Just be aware that the * selector is universal, meaning it applies to everything. The different look may surprise you at first. List elements will look especially different. If you just want to adjust the body, put those definitions in your body, html selector.Also, everyone should be aware thatmargin: 0px;is shorthand for:margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;
