Extra cells added, can't remove or else it explodes 1

This happens when I export from Fireworks and open in Ultradev. Looking at a page I'm working on, it's very obvious that there's a hairline space between the page and the left and top of the browser window. Seeing this, I looked back at the html file and it appears that an extra column and row have been added along the right and top sides of the page. My old art director indicated that he'd always had Fireworks do that to his html files (except on one Mac and we can't figure out why). If I delete the extra column and row then the whole page "explodes" outwards. So what's going on? I'd like to get rid of that white space and preferably not have Fireworks/UltraDev behave this way, but I don't have the first idea how to circumvent this.

To my mind, it would seem like this would work: making one "master" table with a width of 100%, a table inside that one with a fixed width (for the actual page + content), and another table inside the master and to the right of the fixed width table at 100% for the repeated/expandable graphics. But to do that I'd have to get rid of the "extra" cells that Fireworks into Dreamweaver produces, and deleting them then causes the page to explode outward. I'm at a loss as to what to do, as I've tried what I just explained as well as doing the same except with a 2-columned master table and nothing is working.

first try going to page properties and setting all margins and widths to 0 [rockband]
whos that behind you?
 
I found the same problem importing Fireworks into Dreamweaver -- and my tables exploded when i deleted that row, too.

I simply went into the HTML source, carefully selected the entire row, and cut and pasted it to the bottom of the table (just before the </table> close tag).

That prevented the table from exploding but moved the hairline space away from the top of the table to the bottom, where it wasn't noticeable.

Hope this helps.
 
The row is to keep the spacing on the table (obviously). Is it filled with spacer images?

You can modify how FW uses spacer images in the options panel. i think you can choose from &quot;spacer images&quot;, &quot;nested tables&quot; or &quot;no spacer images&quot;

Try a few options to see what differences it makes.
 
I have had problems with this. Very irratating.
