    This is true. Although "height" is a widely used proprietary attribute
of the <table> element, it is not spec-compliant, and newer browsers may
ignore it.

    It may seem that I'm targeting you for abuse, but believe me, I'm not!
    The fact is, you _can_ set the height of a block element in CSS very
simply:

div {
   height: 100% ;
}

    The potential catch is that the 100% is 100% of the object's containing
block, which can be confusing in practice.
