Hi all,
I have coding a webpage for the first time using the doc type:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
and I am having real trouble trying to set a table to size to 100% height.
Originally I set the <table heigh="100%"> and that has worked in the past and it did work for me this time (Firefox,Safari) but it would not work in Interent Explorer (8).
So then I read up that using this doc type I have to set the table height in CSS and then give the table the corresponding ID eg.
css:
#fullheight{
height:100%
}
html:
<table width="247" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FF0000" id="fullheight">
But this does not make any difference for me???
Diagram of what I am trying to do.
Is there any option plugin for dreamweaver to allow me to do this or? If someone could please show me!
Talk about a pain!
Any help would be great!
% heights with tables are very unreliable
and are not good across browsers.. An invisble gif is the old way to space heights with tables or make a div instead of a table and specify a height in CSS
