hi sam

thanks for sharing, hey, one question is better than none   ;o)

i love tests

are you going to offer comments if people post their answers?

   <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
   <html><head><title>100x100 red square</title></head>
   <body>
   <img src="1pix_f00.gif" 
        alt="100x100 red square"
        width="100" height="100" 
        border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0">
   </body>
   </html>

stretching a one-pixel gif is an old hack, but it works better than css

you never said it had to touch the edge of the browser window, so i'm 
gonna go with the browser's default (non-zero) margins

do i get any marks for knowing that a page will not validate 4.01 
transitional without a title?
