Display/Save Report in HTML format in Full Screen mode with no IE borders

Hi,
I am unable to find a solution to running a report studio report in HTML format in full screen mode without the white borders around the outside. 

Environment is:
Cognos 8.4
IE 8

The report is essentially a full screen report and is run in kiosk mode.  I am using the following code in a HTML tag to hide the toolbar at the top of the cognos viewer:
<style> .mainHeader1{
   display: none;
}
.mainHeader2{
   display: none;
}
.mainViewerHeader3{
   display: none;
}
.mainHeader4{
   display: none;
}
</style>

This code removes the toolbar and white space at the top when running the report manually, however the IE border still remains.  Although the border is small, it is white in colour, and stands out considering the report has a black background.  Is there any way of taking away all the white borders from these HTML kiosk mode reports?

Ideally I would like to automate these reports and schedule them and save them as HTML format. Unfortunately although the above HTML code removes the toolbar at the top of the cognos viewer when running the report manually in kiosk mode, it returns when the report is scheduled and output is saved as HTML.  I have Cognos Viewer, name of report, and on the right hand side various icons.. keep this version, add this report, watch new versions etc

Is there any way to:

1.   Have the HTML report render with no white borders at all?
2.   Schedule the report and save output as HTML with no toolbar or anything in cognos viewer and absolutely no borders?

Thanks in advance for any help
