100% Table Height Not Working in Netscape - 12/6/2002 14:52:23
I have a header and footer on my site. So I want a table to fill the entire browser window when there is not much content on the page. I am using the height=" 100%" attribute for my table. It works fine in IE, but on Netscape it makes the table larger than the entire browser window and you get a vertical scroll bar.
A simplified version of my code is below. Any ideas? Thanks.
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv=" Content-Type" content=" text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" >
</head>
<body bgcolor=" #FFFFFF" text=" #000000" marginheight=" 0" marginwidth=" 0" leftmargin=" 0" topmargin=" 0" >
<table width=" 100%" height=" 100%" border=" 0" bgcolor=" #FFFFCC" cellspacing=" 0" cellpadding=" 0" >
<tr>
<td width=" 100%" height=" 13" bgcolor=" #000000" background=" ../images/topbg.gif" ><img src=" ../images/clearpixel.gif" width=" 1" height=" 13" ></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=" 100%" height=" 100%" > </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=" 100%" height=" 13" bgcolor=" #000000" background=" ../images/bottombg.gif" ><img src=" ../images/clearpixel.gif" width=" 1" height=" 13" ></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I tried what you said bobby. It doesn' t work. The result is that the table shows up in Netscape with 3 rows with equal widths. So my background picture has to repeat to fill up the space. Thanks.
BTW, I' m testing on Netscape 6.2 and IE 5.5

Try adding this to your stylesheet:
html,body {height:100%;}
This site does a good job of sorting through the height issue:
http://www.quirksmode.org/css/100percheight.html
As for the width, I have no idea how to get NS 4 to work with 100% cells. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

problem is that 100% height isn't valid html so it might work in quirks mode but whether it is 100% of the viewport or something else is hard to predict, better off just staying away from it, or not to worrying too much if it doesn't work the same everywhere. (IMO)

what if you chucked the whole table into a div and then set the div height to 100%? might work, you never know
