using css on div margins
I have this html code
When I run that in google chrome it looks like this:
I set the width of my div to 100% but notice how there still some space to the left and right of the div.
How would i get rid of the space to the left and right of the div?

Russ is right. <body> has a default margin of 4 to 8 pixels depending on the browser.
