There is no valign attribute for table so that does nothing.

Have you removed the default margin on <body>?

Other than that, what's the URL?

Currently, the BODY tag has only one attribute of bgcolor.

But what about it's styles?
The only attributes of body that affect its margins are out-of-date,
non-standard, browser-specific hacks.

Make a copy with sensitive info removed and stick it on some free web
space. Otherwise we can't help you.

Intended support is for IE6.x (the weird thing is,
background="/imgfolder/image.gif", which I think is standard, is no
longer supported by IE6).

Current style sheet,

The fact that this is an intranet on which all the users use IE6
should have been stated up front. The name of this group contains www
and thus the default context for all discussions is the world wide
web.

To remove the default margin around pages in IE specify
body {margin: 0;} in your CSS. If you only want to remove the top
margin then specify body {margin-top: 0;}.
Note that if you were writing for the www rather than for an intranet
then padding:0; would also be needed as some browsers have default
padding whilst others have default margin.

As an attribute of <body> ? It's in the HTML 4.01 Transitional
standard, and is supported by IE6, but as with all presentational
matters CSS is more appropriate.

If <body background="/imgfolder/image.gif"> is not working in IE6 then
the first thing to check is that the referenced image is indeed in a
folder called imgfolder that is itself in the root of the site.

Re: Table alignment problem

Tried your recipe, but my "cooking" still does not "taste" good.
Would you mind if I send it to your private email box? Thanks.

Re: Table alignment problem

Oh, and sorry not having stated for IE6 only upfront.
