    I'm developing a site with a green background image, but my client says he sees a white border at the bottom and right of the browser. I have checked the page of 1024x768 and 800x600 screen size but do not see a white border or anything abnormal. I have even checked on a couple other PC's but still don't see anything. Can someone take a look at this site and let me know what the problem could be? Also, I will list the code in the <HEAD> section in regards to the background image.

    Code:

    <style type="text/css">
    body
    {
    background-image:
    url("bground-sample.gif");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-attachment:
    fixed
    }
    </style>

    I have tried viewing the page with the following browsers and had no problems with white borders:

    IE 5.01 SP4
    Firefox 0.8
    Opera 6.0
    Opera 7.0

    Just being curious but what effect are you trying to get with the gif background ? (compared to just making the background of the body-tag light green)

    Hmm, try adding this to the body tag :
    <body margintop=0 marginleft=0 marginright=0 marginbottom=0>

    Long shot and generally unsupported these days (CSS should override this..) but it might be he is using a really old version of IE or Netscape or somthing.

    Oh yeah and you will want to change the matte of the intro logo to green :) (BTW the gif is semi transparent to give the page a gradient.. :)

    I would change the background color to something other than white. Like whatever the last green is on the background gradient. If I zoom out really far(20%) in Opera I can see the white, at the bottom only.
