Ok, I'm making a webpage, and I want a big black bar with a width of about 260px on the far left-hand side that goes all the way up the screen. Life, it doesn't leave any space between it and top/bottom or the side.

...this is hard to explain.

If you don't get what I mean, I'll make a picture or something.

The proble is in alignment and the spaces I presume? to ensure the black goes all the way down, use tables to format data on the page. Set the left most column of the table to black. For the sides, set a css style on the margins. Set all margins ie left right up, down to 0. set spacing to 0 also. or in the body tag set all margins to 0. This will remove the spaces from the sides.

add this in your css sheet

body {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}

this will eliminate the space in the top and the bottom

---------
"All codes below have no space after and before the < >"
---------
No need add into your css sheet, juz add this in your html will do;
< STYLE type="text/css" >
...css codes goes here...
< /style >
-----
If you meant by overlapping anything on the side, i suggest you use < div >.
Get a a black pic with the same amount of width and height, then add the code in your html,
< div class="post" style="position:absolute; top:<your amount>px; left:<uour amount>px" >
Hope this helps...

i prefer using a seperate css file, so if you have a multipage site, you can simply place a link to search for the css file, instead of rewriting the code on each page, which comsumes a lot of time. tnx binki39, that's good to know about css files

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />

Yea, just using something like that is much much easier.

I prefer div layers.

<div leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" topmargin="0" bottomargin="0">

Much cleaner in appearence.
