[thelist] 100% height table problems

[Jeff Lucido]

+1 what Scott said. I viewed the page in IE5.5 on NT4 and only upon
refresh did it display properly. In Opera 5.02 it worked fine. Looking
at the code real quickly I would say try making the bottom row (the one
where you used an image spacer 15px tall) include colspan=3 in the cell
tag and remove the other cells. This may help, just the first thing that
came to mind.

One last thing. I have found that when I make 100% tables I use a
separate "interior" table to actually show all of the content. This has
been the thing that has worked best for me in the past. Example:

<table width="100%" height="100%">
  <tr><td align="center" valign="top">
    <table><tr>Content goes here!<td></td></tr></table>
  </td></tr>
</table>

Best of luck!

Unlike others who have responded, I'm getting the same effect you are,
and I'm
on IE 5.5 (NT 4).  My guess (I haven't looked at your code) is that the
browser
is leaving space for the horizontal scroll bar as it renders the page.
Only
after it's done does it realize that there shouldn't be a scroll bar.
So, upon
refreshing, it fills up the whole page.

Why aren't other people in IE 5.5 having this problem and I am?  I don't
know.
Maybe it's an NT thing.

Can anyone tell me why the bottom taupe row on this page:

http://www.sitediva.com/clients/HHC/index.html

Only goes to the very bottom upon refresh? The whole page is in a 100%
width and
100% height table, and I can't figure why I only get the flush bottom
when I
refresh the page..
