    Hi again,

    Im about to build a menu that will be on left side in vertical

    Only thing is that the meny will only be like 2 cm from left edge (screen) and i want it to be edge to edge with the menu

    Im not good at either php or html but atlest im trying :)

    I made is something like this

    <td valign="top" width="130px" style="padding: 0px 0 0 0px;">

    And i just cant manage so i goes edge to edge :/

    Any idea how i could do that ?

    Thanks

    check your margin property, and if there is none, try setting this to 0, it may well fix the problem.

    Honestly, do as obeegoone says and don't use tables for a menu - it'd be much easier to style with lists and css and works better for google etc too, not to mention blind people who'll be able to Tab through your menu.

    Also this: style="padding: 0px 0 0 0px;" is totally pointless, may as well just be: style="padding: 0;" as it does exactly the same thing.

    P.S. CSS padding does not get rid of Table cell padding or cell spacing.
