ok...im tryin to do a simple skin where the body is tightly fitting inthe body...no boarder

no matter what i seem to not be able to remove a small gap

i have specified the exact width of 700 all in my ascx page for each table and in my css file. I have also taken a container and simplied it with the same width

is there a defualt skin file that dnn inherits from??

i installed that...it does show me but still didnt point the problem out....does it matter my skin only has the css, ascx, and xml (plus media folder)? do i need that html file?

heres my skin file: as you see...i specify the width to be 700 throughout yet my body/content still have a gap of bout 5px

Hi Tom,

Glad to hear you were able to correct your problem.  Remember, if you have child elements that exceed a parent's fixed width, you can always instruct the browser to hide the extra width by setting the OVERFLOW css attribute to "hide".
