Removing grey borders from the index page?

YaBB SE Version: 1.5.5
Server Platform: Windows 98 or ME

Problem Description:
Hi,

I'm playing around with YaBB SE on my home computer, running EasyPHP, before a possible upload to a web server.

Here's my problem, I'm trying to get rid of the thick borders that surround the edges of the header, footer, and discussion topics themselves, but can't for the life of me work out where the code that draws those borders is.

I want my header to run at the full width of the board (780 pixels), but at present I am left with an extra 10 pixels or so of grey on each side, causing unwanted scroll bars.

Bear in mind I am not a programmer, and I'm learning more about php and html every moment!

Thanks!

A link would help.  By default such gray borders are... not there.

Here is a screen grab that may help... site isn't online.

The borders I'm talking about can be seen clearly to the left of the banner and the board (they're also above and below the banner and board too).

I want the banner and the board to justify right against the left margin.

I may have changed the border colour, default was probably white.

Thanks

Okay, try putting this in your css:

body
{
  margin: 0;
  background-color: white;
}

That's brilliant! The exact result I wanted.

Thanks very much.

Just out of interest, do you know where in the code is the command that made that margin appear in the first place?

It's something IE does automatically...

Right - thanks.
