I'm running into a problem with iframes in Netscape 6/Mozilla.
Whenever I place an iframe with a percentage height&width inside a <div>,
it breaks. More specifically, I see what appears to be an iframe of the
proper width, but only a few pixels high.
Examples. http://www.gliff.org/test/iframe.html
Doing a bit more testing, the same thing happens if I place the iframe
inside a table, or even something like a center tag.

This doesn't happen in either Opera or IE 5, so my initial reaction is to
blame Netscape. But that's just the training kicking in.
Am I breaking some obscure, yet significant, standards rule? Are iframes
not 'supposed' to support percentage heights and widths? Is there some
doctype sorcery that will clear this up? Or am I SOL?
Here's a gif of the problem,

Any and all help is appreciated, even if it's of the "Wow, that sure looks
broken" variety.
