I know I've forgotten the answer to this question on hundreds of occassions, but how do you get an image to align with the edge of the browser, say on the top left?

I'd say css is easier.

<img src src="adsf" style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px;">

Also, make sure you've got body tag of

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">
otherwise it'll be slightly offset

<body marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"> would be the correct way.

For which i humbly apologise. This is always the way i've done it before, and it works (even though it's not in the HTML spec :()

Not more stupid than him since marginheight/marginwidth only works in Netscape. :confused2

Yo Blank Verse! :p

<style type="text/css">
body { margin: 0; padding 0 }
</style>


If you want it to work in old Netscape you have to hack it a little. Following will get rid of all margins in modern browsers and top and left margins in NN4.

<style type="text/css">
/*For NS4 */
body { margin:-10px 0 0 -10px }
/* For good browsers. NN4 doesn't understand it */
html body { margin:0; padding: 0}
</style>

If it's worth it to you to use old, proprietary markup to get rid of the right margin in NN4, by all means, jam the lot in there.

So just use both, or CSS as you suggested.
