I'll be happy to help you... could you be a little more descriptive on what you are actually wanting?

throw a "margin:0" in your body selector.

Oh, and it's not just in consideration of good form that a document or external call to a style declaration be placed in the <head> tag. If you have a body block in the style declaration, browsers like to be able to parse the CSS info before having to apply it anywhere inside the <body> of the file to which it's attached.

That's what I said... put it in the body selector

thanks for the tips everyone!
I did away with the box and used tables instead (I redesigned my whole site....again..)....
