Padding on Table

When I add a table for the base of my webpage, it has a padding on the left and
right. I have it set to 100% and the CellPad 0, and CellSpac 0. Can I get rid
of the spacing on the right and left of the table?
Thanks

when you create your page and it is opened in frount of you, right click the
page and choose page properties, from then set the margins and what nots to
0

i.e.

<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

Or you can do it the right way -

Link to an external stylesheet (using DW's CSS editor), or embed a
stylesheet in your code (between <head> and </head> ) with the following
style in it (embedded shown for cut-n-paste convenience) (assuming you want
zero margins) -

<style type="text/css">

</style>

you could also try

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

or

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

as a shorthand method.

This will take care of the margins in IE4+ and NN6. To take care of NN4x,
you will need to use MODIFY | Page Properties... and set the two right hand
margin fields (marginwidth and marginheight) to 0 (DMX and below).

Since you are still using inline margin specs in the body tag, this method
won't validate (and is not easy to do in DMX2004). To get completely valid
code that works for all
browsers in any version of DW, change your stylesheet as shown below -

body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0 -10px 0 -10px;
/*/*/margin: 0 0 0 0; /* */
}
