Crazy gap I can't get rid of! help - please??

Question

Hi - my first time on here (well, needing to be on here..!).
I'm having a heck of a time. I've just been hand-coding a fairly
simple site - which I've now finally gotten around to updating.
The site is:
http://www.arcfoto.com
I'm trying to set it up as a fixed (un-resizeable) console
window with a flexible content pane. So - I've been using
dreamweaver to set it all up. But the problem is that I've got this
really persistent gap that I can't get rid of. It's spans the left
and top sides. (about 10px of white) - in the version you see if
you visit the URL - I've had to add gap to the bottom and right -
just to not make it look TOO WEIRD. But I'd really really like to
get rid of it.
The basic architecture is the following: Javascript window
containing tables to organize content. Nothing special - just
rollovers. A friend suggested I could add CSS commands to get rid
of it. I've been doing a fair bit of messing around with any and
all CSS parameters I could.... but nothing seems to really make a
difference. I'm thinking it's got something to do with the
javascript window definition for the window on the entry page
(previous page). But I really have no idea. I'm HOPING, PRAYING -
that someone here might have a suggestion for a quick fix - or a
fix of any kind...! I've been struggling with this for WEEKS
now...!
Thanks.

Martin?
Your PNG files are so huge because you have not properly
exported them from
FW. Just export as JPG images - they'll be fine if you don't
OVER optimize
them, and they'll be MUCH smaller than these are now.
This is a bit hinky -
.style1 {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
color: #D1CED0;
border-top: 0;
border-left: 0;
border: 0;
body {
background-color: #666666;
border-left: 0;
border: 0;
border-top: 0;
border-top-style: outset;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
try this -
.style1 {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
color: #D1CED0;
border-width:0;
body {
background-color: #666666;
border-width: 0;
margin-left: 0;
margin-top: 0;
But the big question is: will it work for me?
It could.
