adding this code seems to create a permanent margin around the entire page that i can't get rid of.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"  
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;

positions the object at about 5 pixels from the top left. i've never used these standards-modes before...

in firefox it also forces my content to the left of the screen, even though i have it centered

&lt;!DOCTYPE...&gt; inserts page margins??

Hi mayonaise,
Have you tried using margin:0; padding:0; on body and html.
html, body{margin:0; padding:0;}

Hope that helps

i did try that, or at least i thought i did, and it wasn't working. maybe my browser was just loading cached content... anyways, seems to be working now. thanks!
