| 100% Height??? Hey guys, I'm trying to create a DW template that has a table set to 100% height. Of course I can do this in the property inspector and in my design view it looks fine, but when I preview it in my browser this parameter does not occur. I want it to be 100% height because I wanted to add the footer of the page right at the bottom even if there is only a small amount of content on a particular page. I have had this working once before using CSS but I've tried the same route and that didn't work either. Any suggestions or a work through? Thank you in advance. Ian

| Make sure the DocType isn't XHTML (which doesn't support height="100%"). Set it to HTML 4.01 Transitional.

| Thanks for the response. Yep, the page is already set to HTML 4.01 Transitional. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> The height="100%" works fine in my design view, it's when I preview the page in my browser (Firefox and Safari) that it doesn't appear to work. Strange eh?

| Try this... You need to remove the url from the DOCTYPE: Change <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> to <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> |

| In other words, you might as well leave the doctype out. Removing the URL is the same thing...kicks your browser into Quirks mode.

| "tables are evil" only if you use 473 of them on one page just for the perfect positioning of all those blank spacer gif's. They require too much code for too little style. Using one single table to layout the basic building blocks of a site is not evil at all.
