Brad,

Go to here. Read through the attribute definitions. The last one is for 
height. It shows it as deprecated, along with width....
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.6

Is there a particular reason it HAS to align with the bottom of the page? 
Adding frames to achieve just this one thing seems a big overkill. CSS 
could do it, I'm sure, but my knowledge about CSS positioning is minimal 
and jumbled.
