Hi everyone,

I have this problem with firefox browser only. I can'y get my images or text
on the top of my page without any space on firefox browser only. On explorer
no problem. I have aprox. 10 pix space on the top of my page that I want to
eliminate.

Please see my test page with explorer and firefox :

Many thanks for your help

The topmargin attribute when applied to the <body> tag doesn't work.

Instead use a separate CSS file with the command

BODY
{
margin-top:0;
}

and a plain <body> within the html page.

Oh, you'll want to add your body background image command to the CSS
file also

BODY
{
margin-top:0;
background-image: url(images/background3.jpg);
}

Not to ignore the other responses you've received, but here's an answer
to your specific question (meaning, I'm ignoring any other problems).

Your page simplifies to this HTML:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<p>this is a test - I want this text to be on top with no space</p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Remove the <p></p> markup, and your spacing disappears. Browsers provide
a certain spacing for <p>s and <div>s, and you don't want that here. You
can leave your text in the <td>, because it's the table cell data.

It begs the question of whether it really *is* tabular data...
