hi roadrunner

bad news, some browsers will reserve space for the vertical scrollbar
whether the page is long enough to warrant a scrollbar or not

in other words, the blue lines will *not* disappear into the right hand
side of the window, they will stop at the gap for the scrollbar

and there's nothing you can do about it, either, that's just the way the
browsers are

as far as getting it into the top right corner, yes, go with a
right-aligned cell in a width="100%" table

that might not work

the purpose of aligning tables is not for positioning them (although that
*is* what happens), the idea is that stuff should flow around them -- it's
the same as aligning images so text flows around them

some browsers get confused when tables are aligned, especially if more than
one, with the result that often there's overlap or other serious layout
problems

stick with the width=100%

and go tell your boss about the space reserved for the scrollbar (don't
wait for him or her to find out)
