problem with white space/border when importing image or movie

buzz01 webforumsuser@macromedia.com · buzz01 webforumsuser@macromedia.com

When I import a large Flash movie (800x600) or even a plain image into Dreamweaver, I get unwanted blank space on the top and left margin. Why does this occur? How can I get rid of it?

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.

Blank space on top and left OF WHAT?
The page? The table you're putting the file in? A layer? Code? A URL?

Sorry, I meant IN what?

Do you put the file straight in the page or in a layer or in a table.
Can you post a URL or code?
If it's the page, look at Murray's reply. If not, give us more info,
else it's just guesswork

Here is someone else's page that seems to illustrate the problem. Note the (black space) at top and left of Flash movie. see [url]http://www.oetectrading.com.au/aboutus.htm[/url]

I insert the image or movie in the body of the html document.

It's PROBABLY the page margins, so do as suggested by Murray.
And as Alan says: please don't refer to another site, because even if
the problem LOOKS the same as yours, you don't have a clue what's
causing theirs. You're just confusing everything.
Instead, and if the issue remains after adding the margins a la Murray,
post the code to the darned page or upload and give us a URL to it, not
to someone else's.
