When redesigning my business site http://face2interface.com I concluded 
that the best way to make the height liquid was by letting it freely flow. 
IOW I set a minimum height for the outermost table in pixels, and beyond 
that it grows to the proper height based on the amount of content for a 
given page.

I should mention that this is an automated site, so I have one template 
with page content getting substituted in for each link. With a static 
approach you have the advantage of being able to customize the HTML for 
each individual page more easily. At any rate, this works well for my needs.

hth,

Marty
