Right, hopefully this will get more of a response than my Excel help topic. Basically I am making a webpage and it is part of a project that the spreadsheet is also required for.

However here is my problem:

http://www.geocities.com/mjswerve/workinprogress.html

Ignore Geo*****, just a temp host as its not actually going to be put online unless I get bored. The problem I have is quite obvious. Firstly I have a problem with a small white border going around the top right corner, its not there when I view it offline so Im guessing I have messed up with some file names when I uploaded it. THe second problem is the reason I've uploaded it and it is the large white border going all the way around the site design.

I designed the site in Photoshop (I did not include that damn white border) and then I sliced it in imageready. Unfortunately once it was sliced and then saved as HTML this border has been added. My HTML is very weak (knew I shouldnt of stopped using it) and I dont have a clue why this has happened. I'd appreciate any help as its already overdue by 4 days as is my Excel problem http://ukchatforums.reserve.co.uk/ display_messages.php?threadid=73658&forumid=206 *cough* *cough* *nudge* *nudge* :)

Right, well basically what you've told me to do will remove the bottom border when the page is offline but once its uploaded the bottom and top border still remain. Beginning to wind me up now :| Maybe its something to do with geocities, maybe an idea is to try another host?

CSS is what you use to edit the scroll bar colours and stuff isnt it? Style sheets or something?

Heh, not surprised its a load of crap to be honest. Made the layout as a single image in Photoshop and then sliced it in Adobe Imageready to generate some simple HTML. Then I used Dreamweaver to turn the slices into buttons for navigation and used a layer to add text. Was a serious bodge job but my school wont know the difference.

Thanks for the help by the way Rasta, will eat pudding and see if it works =]

True, but for a piece of code as short as this it's best to just shove it in the HEAD.

css can be in multiple places - it can be included in a seperate file, as a declaration block in the html file itself or applied individually to elements.

I would help with that site, but I don't have time to do the complete rewrite it requires :O/ I don't know which program you got to write that for you, but I would consider uninstalling it and snapping the CD.
