Have you ever noticed how some web sites are surrounded by borders
at the left, top and right edges of your browser window? If so,
have you ever asked yourself how it's done? Well, it's not really
the web builder who creates this effect, it's actually the browser,
and it's called the gutter. Both Internet Explorer and Nestcape
Navigator have it.
Although some web buildes, like myself, like this effect - because
it makes web pages look clean and organized, most web builders hate
it because the they're losing valuable window space.
Fortunately for those who can't stand the idea of their browser
stealing valuable window space, there is a way to eliminate the
gutter problem - set your margins to "0".
Here is how to do it.
<body bgcolor="white" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0">
See how it works

The bottom line

Remember, just about everything in web building is a tradeoff
- leave the gutter alone and hopefully your web pages will
look nice and clean, or get rid of the gutter and use the
space you save for ad space.
