    A few odd questions.

    When viewing my site in Opera 6+7 there is a huge gray space to the right-hand side. This does NOT happen on my hard-drive. Is it possible that my web host is causing this? If not, how can I fix it?

    One last question. I am using XHTML Strict DOCTYPE so I cannot use marginheight="0" etc. etc. in <body>. I have used margin: 0px; in my style sheet under the body section. This works fine in IE and Netscape, but not Opera. How can I fix this? I have also tried margin-top: 0px; but to no avail.

    Hey, splinter.
    I start every stylesheet like this:
    html {
    padding-right: 0px;
    padding-left: 0px;
    padding-bottom: 0px;
    padding-top: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
    }
    body {
    background: #ffffff;
    margin: 0px;
    font: 100% Geneva, Arial, sans-serif;
    color: #000000;
    padding: 0px;
    width: 100%;
    }
    I never have a problem with any browser, Opera included.
    I put margins around subsequent containers and divs.
    Including the "html" seems to take care of the 'rogue' browsers, and separating
    the padding properties into all 4, with the 'zero' values seems to get everybody. It may not be necessary - probably could use shorthand i.e. html{padding:0;
    margin:0;}
    but I am not sure every browser can read shorthand. LOL
    Let me know how it goes, I have never tested on Mac IE5.2.
    :O)
