HTML design questions...

Mickah

How do i force images to the very top left of the browser screen, well actually these images are contained within a table.
It's a border thing, to the very top and to the very left....

Is there anyway of telling a brower not to reload certain images that remain constant throughout a website?

Cheers for any answers

<p>To get a pic to the very very top left, without any gap, you put in marginwidth=0 and marginheight=0 in the body tag; then in the table you set border, cellspacing and cellpadding all to 0 too.</p>

AFAIK the only way to tell the browser not to reload the images is to use frames...
But then I'm probably wrong, but that's how I do it...

Mickah

GTD, that method works in IE but not in Netscape!

with my page anyways

Nutscrape wont let you go all the way to the corner.

Trick is to use a background color/image to give the impression that the graphic sits into the top left corner.

Mickah

sexy vexy, u're a HTMLy person...

which in yer opinion is the better browser to design HTML for???

I always liked Netscape, cos of that annoying dotted border used in IE for linked images, disgusting.

Just wondering...

Well from the sites I work with IE is the most popular, about 60%-70% and more of browsers. I, personally also find IE to be easier. But thats just me I suppose!

Mickah

i reckoned that vagga, what about for normal browsing, netscape just seems sexier for some reason...

and what about them annoying dotted borders around the linked images, when ye click on them. Any workarounds?

If you want it to work in Netscape aswell, put leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 in the body aswell. This will work!
Netscape DOES let u go all the way to the corner.

There Ain't Any Workaround For Those Ugly Borders In IE As Far As I Know. If you're designing a site, it's gonna have to be compatible with both browsers, and Vagga is right, the majority will use IE.
On the question of how to getan image in the top left corner of a table data element, isn't this how it's done ??
<TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"><IMG SRC="whatever"></TD>
Has Nyone Seen The Credits Easter Egg in IE4.0 ? If not, go to Help->About Intenet Explorer. Then Hold down Ctrl and drag the 'e' (top right corner) symbol over the world and then into the main BOLD text. Release your mouse button, click 'Unlock', then hold down Ctrl again and drag the 'e' symbol over the world. This will be followed by a list of credits, with some other messages, not a bad ould easter egg, but a bit boring.

juNkie is right on this point, I remember him showing me this and me being well impressed...

ALtogether then, you need 4 parameters in your BODY tag to make stuff stick in the very top left on all browsers:

marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 leftmargin=0 topmargin=0


As for not reloading images throughout the site, browsers will do this automatically depending ontheir cache settings. If people have their cache set to "check every time", it'll refresh for each impression and there ain't a damned thing you can do about it, but thats their problem not yours.

I reckon try to work for getting things to look right in Nutscrape... cos if it looks okay in Netscape, it'll look okay in *anything*

madyoke

marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 leftmargin=0 topmargin=0

is the right way to go MAN!

btw ... all u had to do was go to the microsoft site with the black table across the top of the page in both netscape and IE and rip it off!

Remember, you can achieve anything !

For the site i'm working on at the mo', in the index i have the "detect browser" script.If it's IE it goes to a beautiful floating frames site (IE only) and if its NS it goes to a normal frames site.I have to make 2 sites but its not that much trouble cos the contents obviously gonna be the same.Both bits of the site havnt any ugly lookin' borders.

LoLth

ugly lookin' borders on linked piccies? Can't say I've noticed! Any examples so I have a better idea what you're talking about?

<I'm assuming this can't be fixed with the border=0 bit>

Mickah

cheers for that junk will try it when i go home,
lolth, the dotted border around linked pics in IE appears when u press and hold the mouse button while yer cursor is on the pic.
