[SIZE=3][COLOR=DarkOrange] **Hi people** [/COLOR][/SIZE]

I have a strange question in 2 parts:[LIST=1]  
[_]Sometimes, when i have a table width of 100% (nested), the edges are cut off as if it is too long… Any ideas? (same is true for divs)  
[_]Sometimes I get a horizontal scrollbar on a page with content that is not too wide, no matter how wide i make the page…  
[\*]:hair:[/LIST]I dont know if the 2 are related, but they are both a little puzzling.  
I am quite familiar with CSS and HTML etc, but this is just odd?

_Thanks in advance…_

set your body margins, cell margins, and cell padding to 0.
