I thought that using 'Loose' would help validate but hasn't - my dtd:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">


OK so after lots of googling/experimenting I have a page which could
validate:

table.main {
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
body{
margin:0px;
}

Height 100% Works in:
Safari
Opera

Height 100% doesnąt work in
Mozilla
NN4
IE

Body works in:
IE
Safari
Mozilla

Body doesnąt work in:
NN4
Opera

The above is only tested using a mac.

Validation just seems like so much work to not display properly.

Also all those extra alt=" " tags on my page.

Any tricks/thoughts?
