Importing PSD into FW MX creates a white border

[anadownunder webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi,
When I importa a PSD web template into FW MX, it doesn't seem to fill up the window flush to the edges. There is a grey area in FW around the template about 1/2 inch all around. When it is previewed in the browser the edge is white. I opened the file in Photoshop and it was fine - no space. Can anyone help? You can view at [url]http://www.realdesigns.biz/problem.htm[/url]

- I've looked at your work, and there is a 1 pixel border at the top,
because you exported from Fireworks with shims - to remove them, go into
HTML set up (file menu) and choose export nested tables without shims.
- The border you see in the browser is the standard border that browsers
automatically add. You can remove these with topmargin, leftmargin,
marginheight, marginwidth attributes in the body tag, or by using CSS.
- Taking the above into account, I conclude that the gray area in Fireworks
is not part of your imported file at all. It is simply Fireworks
background. It will be there whenever the document is smaller than the
document window. It is not exported or in any other way part of the file.

If this is not the case, check the layers panel for stray objects that you
are not seeing or try trim canvas...

The 1 pixel margin (shim) is removed in Fireworks HTML set up. The rest
(probably 10 at the left and 10 at the top) need to be removed using your
HTML editor (Dreamweaver, Front Page, whatever...).

If you do this, you *will* remove the white border you see in your browser.
