CelticDragon -> height 100% problem (3/8/2005 9:13:12)
Hey guys, made great use of the Height 100% tip in the RSS feed last week but for some reason it's playing havoc with a page I'm doing .... I put in the height:100%; in the html and body and then in my screen res (I've a big screen!) the middle bits weren't repeating the background and the windows were half way down the screen. Of course this is only in IE - in FF it looks perfect! I then put in the height:100% in the navigation and main window cell and it joined everything up nicely, but now the page goes on for ever! Any ideas? EDIT: As always, what do you think of the designs? I know that's really a site critique question but you know me - I crave validation as I go along!!!! [:D] Edit 2: It seems to be just one of those IE things.... will have to make do with not having the page go all the way to the bottom I guess..... A well....[:(]

Stephen IE doesn't parse the height: 100%; - nobody knows why <cue the X-Files theme tune> [:D]

maybe because it doesn't know what it's 100% of ;) (e.g. viewport, body, ....)

Doesn't matter what you apply it to Dave, IE won't parse it[;)]

not even without a doctype?

Giomanach -> RE: height 100% problem (3/9/2005 8:26:49)
Nope, but there's something I wanna try before I say that for sure...[;)]

Hi CD, I believe this is an IE bug, maybe if you do a search on it you might find a hack. I think there is one, but I can't remember it off hand.

to be honest thinking in terms of 100% is inately flawed for the net. it's useful for print but for the net you'll never know how big the canvas is (does the page scroll) or what 100% is count as. don't go there ;) unless you can find a robust way of doing it!

CD here are a few links for you that have hacks for this http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1243541&postcount=8 http://www.stunicholls.myby.co.uk/layouts/basics.html http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/3colfixedtest_explained.htm Also you might wish to search "Holly hack", after Holly Bergevin, she is the one that I believe came up with the hack for the height problem. She is associated with PIE and writes article with John for Pie as well as for the CMX site.
