I am making this awesome website and whatever I do this one problem appears on every Internet Explorer browser.

I made a page and set it to no margins for both top and left, then continued to make my page. When I had finished I previewed it in my latest IE browser and a see a thick line of the same color as my background color and the size of a scroll bar on the right hand side. The weird thing about this is when I refresh the page in my browser it disapears.

Please help me

No, its not online yet and I am not uploading it.

It still has the problem but I have found a way to avoid it. I created a frames page with only one frame making it look as though there isent one at all and its gone!

If anyone still knows how to go around it tell me please.

I know what you mean but I just cant.

I just tried doing a cut-down (when you keep on deleting stuff on a page until it works) and I found that I didn't work right until I deleted everything. Weird eh?

I created a copy of it before I did it:

hm. that is weird.

for one thing, you have way too many BODY tags. any html document is only allowed one opening body tag, and one closing body tag. no more, no less.

the other thing that may be goofing up is your ID values. ID is supposed to be only one instance within the document. i think there are two instances of "AutoNumber5". i think you have two parts named "I4" as well.

fixing those, you will still have the weird error happening. its gotten really late for now though and that's all i see so far...

I4, I2, I1, I3 etc. are the names for IFRAMES.

I deleted all the excess body tags and it still happens.
