I'm trying to place a small linkbar on the top of all of my free-user sites. Problem is, the difference in design. Some pages have margins, some don't. Is there any way to make the table go all the way across the screen, regardless of the pages margins or padding, without affecting the pages contents?

Like this: http://www.batcave.net/

That's what i'm trying to achieve.

Now, look at these two sites:

With Margins: http://demo.outhost.org/postinfo.html
Without: http://tom.outhost.org/

How can I remove the margins JUST for the table without affecting the pages contents? I'm not going to use the BatCave.net ads , they're just for an example.

Hi SpiralFive. Batcave is using JavaScript to add this. But the Script they are using is doing nothing more than using document.write statement to write the html code into the page.

I don't see why you can't just write the html code and put it at the top of the page. You could use either a div tag and put it at the top of the page. Or you can put the info in a table. You will have to set the margins to 0 so that it will hug the top of the window and the right and left hand margins.

You should be able to just do it!

I'm not sure if I'm understanding your question here, but it seems to me you could just create a absolute positioned div that has a width of 100% and a z index of 999 (though 2 would probably work):

<div style="position:absolute;top:0px;width:100%;height:auto;z-index:999;">
Code for link bar
</div>

That should do the trick

I was thinking about the absolute div at first sakr. The only problem is if you put this on a page using tables. and the top table goes all the way to the top of the page, This div is going to cover it up!..

it would be better to not use the absolute positioning and just put the div at the top. Then use css to set the margins of body to 0..
