cr's doesn't change the body's color, so it should work, cr's or no cr's. It
appers that the page height is smaller than the netscape fisical height and
the extra space is filled with black (probably in linux becames a gray area,
in windows is white :) ).

If you are using wd-xsl its most likely coming from your stylesheet -
purely visual carriage returns can be copied to your output without you
realising...

If find in these situations its best to put as much of it on one line as
you can

very nice

cheers

Hi Mike.

yes, I get that to... I add the <header> tag and a title and it is
ignored
also. maby there is some attribute of the <xsl:output> tag that could
make
it work.
I made an HTML page with the output of the stylesheet and work fine, so
the
problem ins't the HTML code.

Thank you all for your suggestions - I'm definitely planning to move all
my
work to XSLT at some point.

Américo,  I tried adding the xsl:output tag in the beginning of the xsl
document, and that solved the table width problem.  I'm still left with
one
small detail; when I use the following body tag:

<body bgcolor="#bbbbbb" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0" rightmargin="0" margin="0">

I'm still left with whitespace below the table - do you get this as
well?
Is there a way to get the <body> properties to apply to the entire page
like
in a normal HTML file?

Mike
