1) Develop a new, totally insecure browser that will allow you access to the user's system settings.
2) Get everybody who might possibly want to use that page to download and install your new, completely insecure, browser.

Lacking that, you have NO WAY. ;-)

And ASP runs on the SERVER, not the CLIENT.

Sorry, My e-mail doesnt seem to be working right today at work ... (woulda gotten back to ya sooner...)

-- Which margins are you trying to change? (top, left, bottom, right)
I tried playing with it a bit but no luck yet...

-- Im not terribly great with CSS, and had to get help with this from someone else myself if you take a look at the link i provided above from my question. But you may be able to post something in the CSS forum and get better results...

-- Hope this helped a lil though ...
