Border around whole page

[fusionsp]

how do i remove the small white border around my whole site?

is it a padding that needs to be set? or is it a margin that needs decreased?

Before addressing that, you have a coding error that may mess up other things.

You open two tables for header layout, but you only close one of them, so the entire page is contained in #headerLogo.
From View Source:

  <!--<div id="headerBackground">-->
  <table>
    <tr>
<td id="headerLogo">
  <!--bof-branding display-->
  
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

</td> 

      <td id="headerBackground">

<td align="center" bgcolor="1d5685"><img src="../../../../images/bg_header.gif" ></td>
 
  <!--eof-branding display-->
  <!--</div>-->
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>

<!--bof-navigation display-->
<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">
<div id="navExtraWrapper">

You don't need tables at all to make your layout; divs and the stylesheet will do anything you want done.

I'm still seeing #headerLogo enclosing the whole page, after clearing cache and refreshing.

ok. so this is still new to me. im learning, just not fast enough. where is it open, or which line? I noticed that some of my pages are not displaying the correct size. would this do that?

[gjh42]

I can't tell you which line it will be, but the problem is in tpl_header.php. Look for <table> and </table> tags.

ok. it should be down to one table now.?

now i am having a error show up randomly? i dont know when this happened, but the pages are all acting funny

You seem to have eliminated the #headerWrapper div... there is only an unnamed table sitting above #navMainWrapper, and #mainWrapper ends at the bottom of the header. The </div> from the #headerWrapper div is still there and acting when it shouldn't.
